Tuition Information
Catholic school education shall be available to all families. A Catholic education requires a commitment on the part of the diocese, parishes, and families. Tuition is set at an amount that is equal to the cost of education. Tuition assistance (former parish subsidy) is available based upon need. The financial resources of the family determine the tuition that each family pays.
Families requesting assistance in paying the total per pupil cost are required to complete a confidential financial aid form. Schools in the diocese are registered with FACTS (Fast Automatic Cash Transfer System). This company is an outside independent organization that will judge the level of assistance needed based upon an objective set of norms and criteria assuring complete privacy and confidentiality.
There are four tuition payment options:
Ø Option I: Single payment plan. Due date: June 17, 2009 – Four percent discount.
Ø Option II: Two payment plan. Due dates: June 17, 2009 and January 20, 2010 – Two percent discount.
Ø Option III: FACTS plan. You must complete the FACTS form and return the form to the school’s office. All tuition payments through FACTS must be complete with the final payment on June 20, 2010.
Families who participate in the Scrip, Market Day, and School/Pops programs may apply any earned credits towards their annual tuition.
