The initial August payment is approximately 30% of the total tuition due. The monthly tuition payments are due at the beginning of each month, September through April.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Scholarships are available through the generosity of St. Patrick parishioners and the “Sponsor-a-Student Fund”. Parents requesting a scholarship must fill out an application and meet with the Principal of St. Patrick School to provide documentation of hardship. Scholarship recipients are required to pay the deposit and fees and to participate in the Meijer’s and/or Scrip program which helps offset tuition costs.

Two additional avenues open to parents for financial assistance are the Scrip and Meijer Rewards programs.

Scrip is an opportunity to help reduce the overall costs of tuition to the families of St. Patrick School through the purchase of gift certificates for use at the participating merchants.

Meijer Community Rewards Program was established as a fundraiser for non-profit organizations and churches, however, St. Patrick School allows parents to apply their earnings to offset their tuition.
