Financial Aid

Financial aid applications are available only for all accepted students.  Returning students can apply for financial aid 2013-2014 school year beginning March 4, 2013.

New students can apply for financial aid once they have been accepted.  Acceptance letters are mailed the week of March 11, 2013. 

TADS - Tuition Aid Data Services - encourages on-line applications.  A Financial Aid paper application can be picked up in the school office. TADS charges a $34 application fee.  The deadline is April 19, 2013; applications must be returned directly to the TADS office (on-line or to the address on the financial aid application).  Those wishing to apply late must receive permission from the SF Finance Office.  The below links are available for you to submit your online application.

Families will be notified of the financial aid decision by the beginning of June.  Tuition payments begin in July.

For transfer students, your financial aid application and supporting documents are due in the TADS’ office two weeks after the date of your acceptance letter.  Notification of financial aid will be mailed approximately three weeks after a completed application is submitted. 

For all students, you will not be considered for financial aid if the registration fee is unpaid

For the 2012-2013 school year, over $1 million was granted for financial aid.  This year, 23% of the students received financial assistance with an average award of $4,000.

Tuition Accounts

April is the final month for tuition payments. Please be aware that accounts in arrears may be assessed a $25 late fee charge per month and experience delays and/or holds in student records including a delay in receiving their class schedules for the coming school year.

Special Note to Seniors:
Seniors and their parents are reminded that ALL financial obligations (great and small) must be taken care of before seniors are permitted to participate in graduation exercises, receive graduation gowns, take exams, etc.


Parent Service Hours

Parent service hours are required each school year.  Parents of freshmen, sophomore, and junior students serve 25 hours.  Parents of senior students serve 10 hours.  Parents with two or more students serve the required number of hours for the youngest daughter.  Single parents who are solely responsible for tuition are required to perform 12.5 hours per year in their daughter's freshman, sophomore and junior years, and 5 hours during their daughter's senior year.

Failure to serve all hours will result in a mandatory $500 fee to be paid before the student(s) begins the next school year or, in the case of seniors, before receiving graduation documents. Diocesan regulations mandate that this amount cannot be prorated for partial hours completed; therefore, all 25 hours (or 10 hours for senior parents) must be performed and reported by the reporting deadline to avoid paying the non-participation fee. The $500 non-participation fee is non-refundable.  If a student leaves the school, the fee is not prorated or returned.

Parent service hours must be completed by May 1st of each year for freshman, sophomore and junior families.  For senior families, parent volunteer hours must be completed by January 15th. Completed Parent Service Hour forms are to be turned into the Advancement Department by these dates. For more information, please see Parent Volunteer Program.

If you have a question regarding your hours, please contact Ingrid Niles, 916-737-5023 or iniles@stfrancishs.org.

If you have a question regarding your payment, please contact Michael Gallo, 916-737-5042 or mgallo@stfrancishs.org

Class of 2014 Senior Graduation Fee

Seniors are responsible for a senior fee of $150. The Senior Graduation Fee represents the cost of the facility rental (Memorial Auditorium), cap and gown and other miscellaneous costs. This fee is not to be confused with any Grad Night Party costs that are determined and collected by the parents on the Grad Night Committee.  This fee is due at the time of re-enrollment.


Tuition Policies

Freshmen: due March 25

Returning Students: due March 15

Tuition Payment Plans

Option 1  (Check or Money Order)

Annual Payment Plan - due on or before July 1
Semi-Annual Payment Plan - due on or before July 1 and on or before November 1.

Option 2 (Electronic Funds Transfer Only)

10-Month Plan - due July through April

Refund Policies

Students who withdraw from the school voluntarily will be expected to pay for the academic quarter in which they are enrolled. 
Students who are expelled from school will be expected to pay on a daily rate by quarter. For example, if a student's last day of attendance is five days from the end of the third quarter, the student's family will be expected to pay for three-quarters of the annual tuition less 5 days of tuition. This policy differs from the one stated above because the student is not leaving the school voluntarily.

Transfers

Students who enroll in the school during the academic year will be charged on a daily rate per quarter. For example, a student enrolling with ten days remaining in a third quarter will be charged 10 days for the third quarter tuition and all of the fourth quarter tuition.

Late Fees

Annual & Semi-Annual Payment Plan - A late fee of $25 will be charged for payments received after the 15th of the month.

Returned Check Fees and Insufficient Funds Fees

Option 1 and Option 2 Payment Plans - A returned check fee of $25 will be charged for payments that are returned or rejected for insufficient funds or checks returned for any reason
