The Church of Saint Ann believes in the value of Catholic education. The Education Endowment Fund was created to support St. Ann's parish school and its students and advance Catholic education. The irrevocable goal and objective of the Education Endowment Fund is to defray the costs associated with obtaining quality Catholic education at any level, with Family Tuition Assistance and merit-based Scholarships. The Education Endowment Fund is held and administered as a permanent Catholic endowment fund, separate and distinct from other parish funds.
The Education Endowment Fund Committee will distribute funds from the Endowment to those families who apply for financial aid with the Diocesan Tuition Assistance Program (FACTS). Based on applicants' financial needs as calculated by the Diocese of Trenton, the Endowment funds will be distributed in addition to Diocesan aid.

The Education Endowment Committee awards merit-based scholarships to Saint Ann School students.
Applicants for Merit Scholarship are considered based on their academic performance and the fulfillment of a service project. Academic performance and the service component are weighted equally as part of the scoring process.
The committee does not consider financial need in awarding scholarships, and students receiving tuition assistance are encouraged to apply. The value of the scholarship award is the lesser of $1,000 or the student's tuition balance.
