Finances
The parent/guardian of a student will be held liable for all financial
obligations resulting from being a student of Saint Clement Junior/Senior High
School. Financial obligations for all students include:
-
Tuition
-
Books and course fees
-
Class fees
Additional financial obligations may include athletic user fees, applied on a
sliding scale for each sport the student participates in during the year.
TUITION
Senior High:
Tuition for senior high students is paid directly at the Main Office during
regular school hours or by mail. Parents/guardians have the opportunity of
choosing one of three (3) payment plans that have been set up for their
convenience.
The current payment plans are as follows:
| |
1. |
Payment in thirds |
July 1st, November 1st, March 1st |
| |
2. |
Quarterly payments |
July 1st, October 1st, Jan. 1st, April 1st |
| |
3. |
Monthly payments |
1st of the month July through April |
All tuition plans begin with the first payment due in July and end in
accordance with the payment plan selected by the parent/guardian.
| NOTE: |
1. |
Nonpayment of any financial obligation when due is cause for refusal of
admission to school.
|
|
2. |
In order for students to be admitted to midterms and final exams: |
|
|
a. All tuition payments must be up-to-date or paid in full (finals) |
|
|
b. All book and course fees must be paid |
|
|
c. All class fees must be paid |
|
|
d. All additional fees applied to the student must be paid |
If a parent/guardian encounters problems with payments, the Main Office must be
contacted prior to the week of midterms or finals. The administration will be
happy to work out a payment plan provided parents/guardians do not wait until
the last minute. Failure of parents/guardians to communicate with the Main
Office when there is a problem, will result in the steps previously noted:
-
Refusal of admission to school
-
Refusal of admission to midterm and final exams
-
If necessary, turning the account over to a debt collection agency
Junior High:
Tuition for junior high students is paid directly at the Main Office during
regular school hours or by mail. Parents/guardians have the choice of paying
the tuition in full or of paying in thirds with payments due August 1st,
November 1st and March 1st.
FINANCIAL AID
Financial aid applications from the Catholic Schools Foundation become
available from the Main Office in early spring. These forms must be completed
in full and returned along with the required documentation to the Main Office
by the stated deadline.
Because financial aid is limited and the demand is great, the school must be
able to substantiate all requests for aid that are received. Therefore, failure
to complete the form and to provide the required documentation will negate the
request for assistance.
Parents/guardians are required to apply for financial aid on an annual basis.
Financial aid does not carry over from one year to the next because a family’s
financial status may change and improve during the year. It is also possible
that the financial status may decline resulting in a possible increase of the
amount of aid that will be granted.
Each year the high school sponsors fundraisers that are partially used to fund
additional house financial aid. These fundraisers are the only means for
assisting families who do not for aid from an outside agency. Support of these
drives is vital if Saint Clement Junior/Senior High School is to continue to be
able to offer assistance to these families and students.
