 FACTS Tuition Management

​Building Legos Builds Problem Solving.Parents have three options for arranging tuition payment. The payment options are as follows:

Option 1: A one-time payment of tuition due August 1. This payment can be made directly to the school or through FACTS Management at no cost to the payment. If choosing to pay the school directly, an invoice will be mailed to the parent in approximately mid-July.

Option 2: Tuition will be made in two payments due August 1, and January 15. These payments can be made directly to the school or through FACTS Management. If arranging payment through FACTS, a fee of $10 will be assessed and deducted from your bank account once you finalize your payment agreement.

Option 3: Monthly FACTS payment plan arranged through FACTS Management on the fifth or twentieth of each month, beginning July or August, and ending no later than May. This is either a 10 or 11 month payment program. The monthly payment plan is assessed a fee of $40 by FACTS once you have finalized your payment agreement.

The school will generate an email from FACTS to the parent in late June, notifying you that your FACTS payment agreement is ready to be finalized. The parent or guardian must finalize the FACTS payment agreement by August 1st.

 Financial Aid at Conn-Area Catholic

​Conn-Area Catholic School awards financial aid from a variety of sources.

Conn-Area Catholic offers some tuition credit opportunities through designated fundraisers (SCRIP/gift cards, candy sales, etc).

Students transferring into first through sixth grades are eligible for the Bishop's Tuition Transfer Grant in amounts up to $1,500. The tuition transfer grant is not "need based." No financial aid application is required, and the grant is awarded regardless of need. Students will receive $1,000 for the first year and $500 for the second year. If the student is transferring into sixth grade, he or she will only receive $1,000 of the grant. Additional guidelines and exclusions apply. Please inquire at the school with any interest or questions concerning the grant.
