Tuition Accounts
April is the final month for tuition payments. Please be aware that accounts in arrears may be assessed a $25 late charge 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 for Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors must be completed each school year by May 1 and reported by May 15.
- All required hours must be performed to avoid the $300 non-participation fee.
If you have not completed and reported all of your hours by the deadlines, please submit a check for $300 to the St. Francis High School Finance Department by the end of May. Alternatively, you may call Michael Gallo, Student Fiscal Services, 737-5042, to authorize payment by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT).

The replacement fee for a lost clearance card is $2. Please contact Michael Gallo, Student Fiscal Services, 737-5042, if there is a problem or question.

Financial Aid
Financial aid applications for 2010-2011 are now available on-line to all returning and newly accepted families. Link to online application is below.
TADS - Tuition Aid Data Services - encourages online applications. A Financial Aid paper application can be picked up in the school office. The deadline is April 23, 2010; applications must be returned directly to the TADS office (online or to the address on the financial aid application).
Those wishing to apply late must receive permission from the SF Finance Office. Financial aid applicants will be informed by mail of their award amount the week of June 1, 2010. The registration fee must still be paid and is due no later than March 26, 2010 for returning students and March 19 for incoming freshmen (class of 2014).
Registration Fees (non-refundable):
- Freshmen: due March 19
- Transfer Students: due at time of transfer
- Returning Students: due March 26
Tuition Payment Plans
Option 1 (Check, Money Order or Electronic Funds Transfer)
- 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)
- Quarterly Payment Plan – due July, September, November and February
- 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 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.
