A Contributing Parishioner is a registered family who practices their faith by participating in the life of the Church on a regular basis, and who regularly and consistently uses Church envelopes, contributing at least $15 a week or $780 per calendar year (excluding special collections). Your contributions are based on the Church Fiscal Year (July 1st through June 30th).  Tuition rates are reduced for contributing parishioners because you are participating in parish activities and contributing to the financial support of your Church and School.  Families who are not using church envelopes will be required to pay non-contributing parishioner rates, or the full cost of educating a child in Holy Family School, and will automatically receive a non-contributing tuition rate. 
 
Tuition Processing
The School is contracted with Blackbaud Tuition Management to receive, process and deposit all tuition payments. All families are required to register with Blackbaud Tuition Management .  All families must sign an enrollment form and comply with the tuition contract each year.
 
Payment Plan Options
A.   1 payment in full – must be paid by July due date. A 3% prepayment discount is applied.
B.   11 payments – starting in July and ending in May.
 
Payment Due Dates

Delinquency

• All tuition payments must be made on a timely basis. If an account becomes two months delinquent, the family will be permanently removed from the School enrollment. However, at the discretion of the Administration, if tuition is brought up-to-date, the family may remain enrolled at the School providing all future financial obligations are paid on time. The Administration also reserves the right to require the family prepay the total tuition balance to remain on the School enrollment.

• Tuition is generally non-refundable. However, if the decision to remove the student from the School enrollment is made by the Administration, a partial refund may be refunded at the discretion of the Administration, on a case-by case basis. Such reasons may include medical, academic or psychological issues that could compromise the education and welfare of any student.
• If the decision to leave the School is made by the family, tuition is non-refundable.

 
Tuition Assistance and Defrayal
Several options are available to assist families with tuition costs:

• Parish subsidy – available to contributing parishioners only
