All Saints Academy (ASA) provides many opportunities to help your family make Catholic education affordable and accessible.
Every year, the Diocese of Grand Rapids awards more than $500,000 in need-based Bishop’s Scholarships for Catholic school students.
Applications for 2021-22 are open. More information and the link to apply is available at CatholicSchools4U.org.
Bishop Scholarship Information
Families who are active parishioners at one of our four founding parishes are eligible for tuition discounts. Families must be registered in a parish, contributing regularly and actively participating in liturgy and parish life to be considered "active."
To receive the parish investment and reduce your cost, complete the Parish Investment Form. After completing the Parish Investment Form, your information will be sent to your parish in April for approval by the pastor or his designee. You will be informed by All Saints Academy if your pastor has NOT signed off on your parish investment request. If you are in need of additional tuition assistance, your parish Pastor or designee will work with you to find an amount that will meet your financial circumstances and advise you of scholarship opportunities through your parish. Only students enrolled in grades K-8 are eligible for multiple child discounts. Early Childhood programs and child care fees are separate, and not eligible for multiple child parish investment.
In addition to the parish support provided by the founding parishes, any parish in the Diocese of Grand Rapids, that does not have a school, will also offer limited support. To receive this investment, complete the Parish Investment Form. The same procedure applies.

There is financial aid and scholarships for families who qualify. To apply for financial aid and available scholarships for your ASA student, you must complete a Smart Aid online application. The Bishop Scholarships are awarded on a first come-first serve basis, so the sooner you apply the better. The four founding parishes also each have scholarship programs available to qualifying All Saints Academy (ASA) students who are members in good standing with the parish. You also apply for these scholarships through the Smart Aid application. ASA only considers assistance requests after parish assistance has been requested.
Smart Aid Deadline for 2021-2022: December 31, 2020

With a little planning ahead, SCRIP can lead to big tuition savings!
SCRIP is a program where gift cards or gift certificates are purchased and used for the full face value and a percentage of the face value is credited to a specific child’s tuition account. SCRIP can be used at participating grocery stores, gas stations, retail stores, fast food, full service restaurants, etc. Friends and relatives can also purchase SCRIP and apply their proceeds to a specific child’s tuition account.
Here’s how it works: Sign up for the SCRIP program at either Blessed Sacrament (BSTRIP) or St. Alphonsus parishes. Designate the tuition account for the proceeds to be applied. Place an order by the due date, either online or by dropping the order form and payment off. A week later orders can be picked up. If SCRIPNow! is purchased online, SCRIP can be used within 24-48 hours. Use your gift cards or certificates wherever you shop!
Orders Due: Place your order online or drop it off at the Blessed Sacrament, St. Isidore or St. Jude parish offices by 1:00 PM on Mondays.
Order Pick Up: Pick your order up at Blessed Sacrament Conference Room after the weekend Masses or in the church office the following week. You can also pick orders up at the St. Isidore and St. Jude parish offices the following Monday.
Orders Due: Place your order online at or drop it off at the St. Al's Rectory by 8:30 AM Friday.
Order Pick Up: Pick up your order between Noon and 6:00 PM on the following Thursday at the Rectory or during office hours after Thursday.
