Our Tuition and Policies

FACTS Tuition

Process Guidelines:

To apply for tuition assistance,  go to  FACTS by clicking on the link below.  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.  

Scholarships

There are additional awards given to one 7th grade boy and one 7th grade 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.  The scholarship award is up to $500 per student.

St. Antoninus Parish School is a tuition based school. Our administration recognizes and respects the sacrifices that families make to help their children receive a high quality, Catholic education. It is our goal to provide the best education possible to all of our children.  We offer financial assistance to all eligible in-parish families as available.

Below is the tuition cost for the 2018-2019 school year.  Re-enrollment begins 4/9/2018 and runs through 4/20/2018.  Re-enrollments received after 4/20/2018 will be considered late, and a $25 late fee will be added to the standard $35 re-enrollment fee for a total late re-enrollment fee of $60.

• New Students KN-8, $125 per student

Full cost of one child's tuition before Parish subsidy is approximately $5,827 plus the re-enrollment fee of $25.  The Parish susidy is available to all active, supporting members of the Parish. We are so grateful to our parishioners for supporting our school!  To make your Sunday contributions easier, you can choose to make regular electronic contributions.
