*Note: For those families who are registered, active and participating members of their Catholic parish, the school allows a reduced tuition rate, which becomes effective when the Parish Verification Form has been signed by the pastor and received by Notre Dame Preparatory Business Office. The reduced tuition rate is not retroactive. Criteria used in determining active and participating membership may vary by parish. Those families who are not registered, active and participating members of a Catholic parish will be required to pay the full tuition rate for each student enrolled.

Tuition may be paid annually, in two installments (1/2 on July 15, 2020, and 1/2 on December 15, 2020) or monthly. All parents must use the Smart Tuition management system. All tuition payments must be completed by April 15, 2021.

1. A tuition contract that indicates the method of payment must be signed by each family. This is a legally binding document, and Notre Dame Preparatory will pursue means to collect all monies owed.

2. In addition to tuition, the annual Student Registration Fee is due prior to the beginning of the school year. The annual Registration Fee and the Senior Graduation Fee are non-refundable. Families are also responsible for uniform costs.

Tuition paid prior to the beginning of school will be refunded in full. After the beginning of school, tuition refunds will be made on a pro-rated basis. No refund of tuition will be made after October 1 for the first semester or after February 1^st for the second semester.

No tuition refunds will be made at any time if a student is dismissed or asked to withdrawal from school for disciplinary reasons.

Note: All financial obligations to the school must be met prior to final exams. Finals will not be given to students who have not met all of their financial requirements including tuition, fines and fee accounts. A $35 fee will be charged for all returned checks for any payment to the school.

Financial Aid:

Families wishing to receive financial aid must complete an application form from the Catholic Education Arizona (CEA). Applications are available in February online at www.fairapp.com after the student’s annual Registration Fee has been paid. Unfortunately, it is not possible to meet all requests in full. Financial aid covers only a portion of the tuition costs. The amount of the award is determined by the CEA after reviewing the application and the funds available.

Additional financial aid is available through the Notre Dame Preparatory Saints Assistance Fund. All families who want to be considered for these scholarship funds must apply for a CEA Scholarship (see below). NDP will use the financial information supplied to CEA to disburse this scholarship money based on financial need.

Note: Athletic ability is never a criterion for financial aid consideration.

Insurance:

Every student is covered by supplemental student accident insurance during the school day as well as during school athletic and co-curricular activities. Any student enrolled in a Diocese of Phoenix pre-school, kindergarten, elementary or secondary school will be provided accident insurance: while on school grounds when school is in session; while taking part in a school-sponsored or in supervised activities; while attending school-sponsored and supervised religious services or instruction. If a student suffers a covered “accidental injury,” she/he will be eligible for benefits by completing the proper claim documentation which is available in the nurse’s or trainer’s office. This coverage is supplemental to health insurance coverage the student must have.

Note: The school nurse (or a member of Administration in the event of the nurse’s absence) needs to be notified IMMEDIATELY whenever a Notre Dame Preparatory student is injured or has an accident during the school day.
