Supporting Students in Western Washington
Every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. Fulcrum helps make Catholic education accessible to families across Western Washington by providing tuition assistance based on financial need.
Supporting Students Through Our Grants
Fulcrum expands access to Catholic education throughout the Archdiocese of Seattle by providing tuition assistance grants to families based on financial need. Working in partnership with parents and Catholic schools, Fulcrum helps remove financial barriers so that more students can benefit from the academic excellence, faith formation, and sense of community that Catholic schools provide.
Tuition Assistance Grants (TAP Grants)
The Fulcrum Tuition Assistance Grant Program is designed for families and students currently enrolled or applying for the next school year in any Catholic school, grades K-12, in the Archdiocese of Seattle. A family must apply each year through FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment to qualify for a grant—all awards are made based on financial need.

Becraft Scholars Program
Becraft Scholars is a relationship-centered, community-focused scholarship program serving students and families in Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Seattle. Inspired by the life and vocation of Anne Marie Becraft, a Black American nun and educator, Becraft Scholars provides a pathway of access to Catholic education while partnering with archdiocesan schools to foster a culture of belonging for those furthest from educational justice.
