Everest Academy Awards $1,000 Grant to Orland Park Family


Everest Academy of Lemont announced April 20, 2012 that the Stan Pytel family of Orland Park was the first to receive a $1,000 grant to be used toward next year’s tuition. The Pytel family applied and qualified for the tuition grant, which offers tuition assistance to families transferring to the private Catholic School from any non-Catholic school. The Pytel’s have three children enrolling for the upcoming school year.



According to Dr. Coleen Kelly Mast, Advancement Director at Everest, there are still grants available for qualifying families.  Everest Academy is offering a limited number of $1,000 tuition grants to the school for families that are new enrollees in the 2012-2013 school year.  The program, “Come Home to Catholic Schools,” which is currently in effect during spring enrollment, was influenced by the recent “Catholics Come Home” campaign of the Archdiocese of Chicago and the Diocese of Joliet. The grant is in addition to the school’s new tuition rates which reflect both today’s economy and the desire of families for academic excellence and character development.
