KRISTINA N. BUEHRLE SCHOLARSHIP

Kristina N. “Tina” Buehrle was a beloved member of the St. Hilary community, as the mother of four sons who attended the St. Hilary School, and as a trusted and dedicated substitute teacher at the school over many years. Through the generosity of the Buehrle family, a scholarship fund was established in 2022 in her memory.

A scholarship through this fund will be given to one qualifying newly enrolling kindergarten or first grade student each school year.

The amount of the scholarship will be half the cost of tuition. The scholarship will be awarded based on financial need of the family, with special consideration given to a family facing a life-altering circumstance. Consideration will also be given to a family expressing a love of reading as part of the foundation of education and life-long success, as was important to Tina.

To apply, the following are required:

• Kristina N. Buehrle Scholarship Application Form (attached below)

• To assist in awarding the most comprehensive funding package for each student, this scholarship also requires that a Preliminary Funding Information & Income Verification Form (attached below) be submitted. This form must be submitted to be considered for this scholarship.

• The applicant must also complete an online FACTS tuition assistance application.

• All students applying for scholarships must also be registered for the 2026-2027 school year by the March 1 application deadline.

The completed Kristina N. Buehrle Scholarship Application Form and Preliminary Funding Information & Income Verification Form must be submitted by March 1, 2026 to:

Questions may be directed to Diane Sarkis, St. Hilary Parish Foundation Executive Director, at d.sarkis@sthilaryfoundation.org.

All materials and the information they contain will be treated confidentially. Each scholarship awarded will be applied directly to the respective recipient student’s 2026-2027 tuition. In order to encourage as many families as possible to apply and to respect the privacy of the recipients, names of scholarship recipients will not be published and recipients will be notified privately as part of their total tuition funding award package.

With the availability of the EdChoice Scholarship,
the threshold for need will be altered so that families in increasingly higher income brackets
will have a greater opportunity to be considered for other funding.
We encourage all eligible families to consider applying for this scholarship,
especially if financial need or special circumstances are present.

Families are also encouraged to apply for
the EdChoice Scholarship,
the Angel Scholarship,
and need-based tuition assistance by applying online through FACTS
by March 1, regardless of also applying for any of these scholarships,
so that the most comprehensive funding package can be awarded.

With gratitude for your choice of a Catholic education at St. Hilary School,

Fr. Steve Brunovsky
Pastor, St. Hilary Parish

Mrs. Jennifer Woodman
Principal, St. Hilary School
