2021-2022 Tuition & Financial Aid

FACTS Tuition

To apply for tuition assistance,  go to  FACTS by clicking on the link above.  Or, you can go to the school website, go to prospective students, click on tuition and financial aid, where you will complete the application process.  Your application will be first considered by the Catholic Education Foundation.  After they make their decision about tuition assistance, your application will move on to St. Antoninus for possible additional tuition assistance. 

If you have high school students and are completing the FACTS tuition assistance application for them, include your grade school children on the application, and you only pay the application fee once.  St. Antoninus also receives tuition assistance funds through the ESAP program.  Any donations we receive for tuition assistance are matched at 150% by the ESAP program up to $12,000.  
 

ESAP - Butch & Karen Hubert Scholarship Program

Two $750 scholarships are awarded to current 7th grade students (one boy and one girl) at each ESAP participating Catholic grade school.  The scholarship is for the 8th grade year and is based on an application with a short essay.  This award is not dependent on financial need.  Click here for the application. 

 

Below are the tuition rates for the 2021-2022 school year approved by Finance Council. Our tuition structure has changed to better support our school’s needs. Multi student rates now provide a 7% discount for the second child and a 14% discount for the third child. (Most schools are at 4% and 8%, respectively) The fourth child in grades K-8 is now free. If you normally use the two payment plan, please note that the second payment is now due in November rather than December to provide some relief during the holidays. We have also changed to an 11 payment option to help families with their budgetary needs. Out of parish tuition rates are now closer to the actual cost to educate a child.
 
Our parish tuition assistance program is a great way to help offset some of the cost of tuition each year. If you have not applied for tuition assistance in the past, we strongly encourage you to do so. This is done through FACTS and is the only way we can provide additional assistance. The deadline to apply for the 2021-2022 school year is March 26, 2021.

• All families of a graduating 8th grader will be subject to withdrawal from St. Antoninus if tuition is not current by March 26, 2021.

• In the event your financial institution returns a payment, a $40 FACTS returned payment fee will be automatically processed from your account.

• All late FACTS payments will incur a $40 late fee.
  • Additional FACTS Fees: 
    • $20 for one tuition payment plan
    • $20 for two tuition payment plan
    • $46  for three of more tuition payment plan

Withdrawal of Students

• Written notification must be submitted to the School Office at least two weeks before the effective date of the withdrawal.  A Request for Records Release must be signed by the parent/legal guardian. 

• Tuition must be current and up to date before student records can be release or sent to any other institution.  

• The cost of a child's education is a full school year expense.  Parents need to understand that books, teaching supplies, and materials are purchased, teachers and support staff are hired, and classrooms are prepared with the anticipation of each student's full-year enrollment.  As a result St. Antoninus School has established the specific policies and guidelines regarding students who withdraw from school.  Please note enrollment fees (as stated above) are NON-REFUNDABLE.
