We have changed and adjusted our methods of tuition billing to reflect the changing needs of our families. We have created a tuition management plan that we hope will fit everyone’s budget and lifestyle:

Plan A - One payment in full due on or before -  September 1, 2008.

Plan B - Three equal payments, due:  July 1, 2008, Nov. 1, 2008 and March 1, 2009.

Plan C - Ten payments to be paid from - July 1, 2008 through April 1, 2009.

* Fee for Books and Supplies $250.00   (non-refundable/non-transferable)
* This fee for each child is separate from tuition.

If you choose Plan C, the payments will be the same each month if your payment is received by the date stated on your bill. We do not charge a late fee.

Please Note:
The first bill for all payment plans is sent in mid June. You will be billed according to the payment plan you have chosen.  The bills are sent to you by mail approximately 10 days prior to the due date. The date that your bill will be mailed is posted in the Monthly Newsletter that the children bring home on the first of each month.

Scholarships:
St. Theresa School receives a small amount of scholarship money from the Catholic Schools Foundation to be distributed among qualified families of K2 – 8 students. The school sends home the application packet. Families are responsible each year for completing the application (by the deadline) and sending it by computer or mail to an independent company. The application fee is $20.

Non-Payment Policy:
If you do not make tuition payments according to the tuition plan you have selected, you will be required to pay in full.  As stated in our Calendar/Policy handbook, your child may not begin classes in September or may be suspended from classes if tuition is not current. If we receive checks that do not clear the bank, you will be required to pay by bank check, cash or money order and you will be charged a bank fee in the amount of $10 for each check returned.

Tuition Assistance

Each year we receive some Scholarship funding from the Catholic Schools Foundation. If your family feels that you may qualify for this funding, you are asked to fill out the application that is sent home via the children in early March and mail it to the Facts Grant and Aid Assessment in the envelope provided. You may also apply online by visiting www.factstuitionaid.com. There is a nonrefundable application fee in the amount of $20. It is only necessary to apply once per household regardless of the number of children in Diocesan Catholic Schools.

The deadline for applying is April 1, 2008 with May 1, 2008 as the deadline for submitting all supporting documentation. All documentation requirements are listed on the enclosed flyer in your folder or online.
