A tradition of Faith, Academic Excellence, Athletic Success,
and distinction in the Fine Arts
Joliet Catholic Academy has been "Inspiring Growth in Knowledge and Faith since 1869."
Whether you represent JCA’s past or present, you are a vital part of our extraordinary tradition.
Thank you for your support of Joliet Catholic Academy. This year's JCA Online Day of Giving will focus on funding student scholarships.
JCA grew Invest in Kids Act Tax Credit Scholarships from four students receiving $51,892 in scholarships six years ago, to 54 students receiving $653,112.50 in scholarships for the 2023-2024 school year. This program provided relief to our endowed scholarship funds and has helped JCA assist even more students with tuition assistance.
Unfortunately, the program was not renewed by the Illinois General Assembly for the 2024-2025 school year. Illinois dubiously became the first state to kill a school choice program. 32 states now have some form of school choice across the country, and 15 have universal programs, meaning all children regardless of race or income can access a tax credit scholarship, voucher or education savings account. While JCA donors stepped up to the plate and provided much needed assistance to students, we currently are only able to fund 75% of the collective documented financial need of current JCA students:
- Scholarships Awarded in 2024-2025: $2.1 million
- FACTS Tuition Management Verified Family Financial Need: $2.8 million
- Percentage of Current Student Financial Need Met: 75%
JCA students need YOU now more than ever.
