Financial Aid

How to Apply for Financial Grants

In order for a family to be eligible for grants from Regina High School they are required to fill out a Private School Aid Service (PSAS) form. The PSAS application is a form mandated by the Archdiocese of Detroit for all Catholic schools and used to determine financial need. When you fill out the PSAS form you will make your family eligible for grants from both Regina High School and the Archdiocese.

When you fill out the PSAS you only need to fill out one. This single form will make you eligible for grants from Regina High School and the Archdiocese (separate forms for each are NOT needed). Once the PSAS is filled out, you need to:

  1. Make a copy of it
  2. Send the original with specified cost to PSAS (do not send the original to Regina High School, we do not process them, PSAS does).
  3. PSAS address: Private School Aid Service, P.O. Box 89434, Cleveland, OH 44101-6434

Once the PSAS receives the original they will process it and send the results to Regina and the Archdiocese. Once we receive the results from PSAS, our Tuition Assistance Committee will make a determination based on money available, number of applicants, and the recommendation from PSAS.

Where can I get the PSAS form?

  • Download the PDF application file above ** Once you download the entire file to your PC, (this can take a few minutes) you can type your information into the form and then print it off for mailing. It will not save a completed form, you must print it.

  • Stop by the Regina High School office and request an application (hard copies will be available in February)

  • Call the Regina High School office at 586-585-0500 to request a copy (the file can be emailed unless you require a hard copy)
