<p>George Washington Univeristy offers a sibling discount</p>

<p>GW Family Grant</p>

<p>"If a family has two or more dependent children simultaneously enrolled at GW as full-time undergraduate students during the 2007-2008 academic year, the younger sibling(s) may be eligible for the GW Family Grant. This is a half-tuition grant that can be awarded for the full academic year or for the fall or spring semester only." </p>

our family benefited from our local parochial school's "large" family discount when they were little!!</p>

<p>St. John’s Univ. in Queens, NY, will start giving students from Catholic high schools extra $2,500-$5,000 off in 2012, I believe (no app. requ’d.) They already gave $1-2,000 as a Catholic student scholarship award (sep. app. requ’d.) Cannot receive both.</p>

<p>Catholic University of America in Wash, DC, will give $3,000 parish scholarship if signed by pastor of your church and $1,000 alumni scholarship if signed by an alumni (sep. easy forms, no essays.)</p>

<p>BYU has a two tiered tuition structure. Non-members pay double the Mormon rate.

<p>My kids’ Jesuit university does this - 10% discount off tuition for all siblings (or a child and parent) attending during the same semester.</p>

<p>I believe there is a full scholarship at Holy cross college to a graduate of a Holy Cross high school.</p>

<p>To clarify…</p>

<p>Some Jesuit universities DO GIVE DISCOUNTS to students who graduated from Jesuit high schools. Those discounts are often around $10k per year.</p>

<p>Usually these discounts can be found on the websites.</p>

<p>So, yes, there are some discounts for some Catholic kids.</p>

<p>Some Catholic high schools are 25% or more non-Catholic. The “discounts” may be available to any Catholic high school graduate, not only Catholic graduates.</p>

<p>

Just to clarify, one is not Catholic by “declaring oneself” or by birth/lineage. Even those baptized into most Protestant religions would go through an education process RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults). </p>

<p>The Catholic University of America offers a small scholarship for members of a Catholic Church (not necessary to be grad of Catholic HS). The pastor of the parish must sign off on the application for the scholarship. It was either $1000 or $3000 renewable annually-I forget which, but they also offer an alumni scholarship for those nominated by an alum of the U and I always get the amounts mixed up.</p>
