TUITION AND FEES POLICY

                                                                                       

Registration Fee

The registration fee is due at the time of registration in the spring of each school year.  The registration fee is NOT REFUNDABLE for any reason.

 

 

 

Tuition

Tuition must be prepaid in full at registration or monthly installment tuition plans are available.  Information about the prepaid tuition program, as well as the monthly installment plan, is available from the Business Manager at the time of registration.

                                                                                  

 

 

Work-Study Grants

Families may apply for assistance with tuition in the form of a grant/work-study after acceptance and registration.  An application must be completed and submitted by the end of March of each year to apply for grants for the following year.  Notification of grant awards will be made in May of each year.  Grants are for only one year at a time and are not automatically renewed.   WORK STUDY GRANTS ARE NOT SCHOLARSHIPS.

 

 

 

Policies for the Work-Study Grant Program

Freshmen who receive a grant are required to complete work hours on campus between June 1 and July 31. Upperclassmen will be assigned to teachers or staff members and must complete all grant work by May 1.  The following guidelines are applicable to the grant program.

 

1.             The student must maintain a minimum GPA of 1.7.  If, after the completion of one year, the student fails to maintain a 1.7 GPA, he or she will not be eligible for a grant the following year.
2.             The assistant principal will make a recommendation in May based on the following for each grant recipient:  effort, attitude, discipline record, and school attendance.
3.             Approved family members may contribute to the reduction of a student's hours by volunteering to work at school. (I.e., concession stands, clerical, tutoring, grounds keeping, etc.)
4.             It is the responsibility of each grant student and his or her parents to insure that all requirements of the grant program are met.

 

 

Grant Committee

The Teurlings Catholic Advisory Board appoints an anonymous committee to serve in the selection of students for grants.  The committee will include at least one pastor.  This committee will report the grants to the principal, who will then inform parents of the grant awards.  The decisions of the committee will be final.

 

 

 

School Fees

All fees are paid at the time of registration or will be included in the monthly installments.

 

 

Delinquent Tuition and Fees Policy

In the event a payment under a monthly tuition plan is delinquent (one month in arrears) to Teurlings Catholic High School, then the following options rest with the school:

1.             A $25.00 delinquent tuition late fee will be assessed per account.
2.             In the event payment is two months in arrears, the student will be removed from any and all extracurricular activities and an additional late fee of $25.00 will be assessed.
3.             In the event that any tuition and/or fees are outstanding at the beginning of the semester examination-testing period in December and in May, then students whose tuition and/or fees have not been paid will not be given semester exams.  This is a policy of the Diocesan school system.
4.             Students delinquent at the time of tryouts for activities for the next school term will not be allowed to participate.

 

 

 

Return Check Policy

Any and all checks returned to the school for insufficient funds, account closed, etc., will incur a $20.00 handling fee due to Teurlings Catholic.

 

 

 

Tuition Refund Policy

Tuition will be refunded on a quarterly basis.  The registration fee is non-refundable in any case.  SCHOOL FEES, INCLUDING SENIOR FEES, CANNOT BE REFUNDED AFTER THE FIRST DAY OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

 

 

 

Delayed Payments

If a family is unable to meet all financial obligations, then they are required to submit a written application for a delayed payment.  Applications for delayed payments and/or grants are available from the Business Manager.  Once completed, these forms should be returned to the principal.  The grant committee will review all applications for approval and then communicate decisions to the principal.  The principal will communicate the results to each applicant.  Every effort will be made to help families with financial needs.
