Scholarships
The Catholic Schools of Broome County (CSBC) offers approximately $1 million in tuition assistance each year thanks to generous support from our local parishes, the Syracuse Diocese, and alumni and friends of the CSBC. This assistance is made up of general tuition assistance which any family who completes a FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment application may qualify for at both the diocesan and local levels. In addition, there are several named scholarships, each with its own criteria that families may apply for. Any family interested in applying for a named scholarship, with the exception of the Patricia Murphy Scholarship and the Pineau Awards, MUST first complete the FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment application. Instructions for completing this application are below.
To apply for a Named Scholarship, families must complete the application for Named Scholarships using the link below. In addition, you must follow any guidelines for additional materials requested (essay, letters of recommendation, etc.) listed in the application.
DEADLINES
Both the FACTS application and the Named Scholarship application must be submitted by February 15th. New families applying after this date may not be eligible for Diocesan tuition assistance. However, they may be considered for Named Scholarships. Incomplete applications will not be processed. Once the tuition assistance process is complete, each family will be notified by email, detailing each source of tuition assistance received. This is usually towards the beginning of May.
With questions or if you need assistance completing any of the applications please contact the Director of Admissions at 607-231-4149.

Continuing with Staff/Alumni Shoutouts! Today we recognize Miss Rita Zielewicz
My current roles at Seton Catholic Central include serving as the School Nurse and Varsity Cheerleading Coach. As a former SCC cheerleader, I am especially grateful for the opportunity to bring the cheerleading program back to the school and share my passion for the sport with a new generation of students.
I graduated from SCC in 2018 and continued my education at Broome Community College before attending Binghamton University, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2022.
Seton Catholic Central and the Catholic schools of Broome County hold a very special place in my heart. Having experienced the community as a student, I truly believe in the values, relationships, and sense of belonging that these schools provide."

Staff/alumni shoutouts! Next up is Joy (Ivancie) Ousterout, class of `02.
After almost 25 years since graduating from Seton Catholic Central in 2002, Joy finds herself once again roaming familiar halls as she enters her 6th year with CSBC. She is the current TK teacher at St. James Catholic School and thanks her incredible experience as a CSBC student for the pull to come back and enroll her own children. The same feeling of family and community exists now, just as it did then and she is honored to be a part of it in a professional capacity. Joy has always felt indebted to her teachers for the amazing experience she had in school and has come to realize that the most valuable thing she can give back is the gift of her time. Joy has 3 young daughters all in the system and her husband just recently became a Saint as he has taken on the role of Boys Varsity Soccer Coach. Looking forward to an incredible year ahead - Go Saints!

Continuing with our staff/alumni shoutouts! Today we celebrate Celeste Savage ,class of `81.
"Before my time at Seton, I was an Alum of St. James Grammar School in Johnson City. You might say Catholic Schools of Broome County are in my blood! I have lifelong friends that I made in grammar school who traveled the halls of Seton with me. We get together as often as we can and stay in touch through frequent texts. I believe in the Catholic School System of Broome County. As a teacher of 41 years at St. John the Evangelist, I have seen the children we nurtured and educated become doctors, lawyers, teachers, priests, and religious sisters. I am proud of the heritage of our system, and I pray that the system will continue to provide excellence in education, but most importantly, a Christ-centered education where our Catholic faith is nurtured and handed on to the next generation of Catholics. Go Saints!"
