Cost-Based Tuition

All Catholic schools in the Diocese of Salt Lake City adopted a model for financial support. This model takes into account the true cost of education for each child. Cost-Based Tuition provides parents the opportunity to invest fully in their child’s education and is based on the ability to pay.

Need-Based Tuition Aid

Special consideration should be given to families who are unable to pay the full cost of tuition and fees. No student should be excluded from a Catholic school for financial reasons.

Each school determines the amount of money available for tuition aid. This is reported in the budget and financial reports.

Applications for tuition aid are processed by FACTS, a professional independent company designated by the school. Based on the information provided and the funds available, the principal determines the amount of tuition aid for each family.
