IBE has been instrumental in the success of St. Augustine and all its families over the years. Their online and zoom training sessions have been a tremendous help in teaching our families how the tax-credit scholarship program works; especially over the past few years as COVID prevented us from hosting our own training sessions on our campus. Our parents are learning the importance of not only participating in the program themselves, but in how their friends, family, and coworkers can also take advantage and give additional support to our students in scholarships. Everyone on staff is extremely helpful to anyone with questions. As a school representative, I can personally say that the IBE staff always come through for our students in need. Year after year I have come to rely on their expertise and guidance to help our families better afford the choice of a Catholic education. We are grateful for Kim and her team of professionals. It is obvious they take the opportunity to help families be able to afford and choose the right school for their children very seriously.
