Good Shepherd Episcopal Church

Tuition Support Program

Through the generosity of families of the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd, an endowment has been created to provide tuition support to parish families with children attending Good Shepherd Episcopal School. We hope the fund will strengthen relationships between the church and our school through its families. We invite you to review the guidelines and complete an application. Please complete a separate application for each child and return to the church office by Thursday, April 30. You may complete applications in one of two ways. Fill out the form below and submit. Or download a PDF of the application here and email to debra.pyke@gsecd.org or print the application and return in person or mail to:
