Tuition

Catholic Schools need to
be accessible and affordable to all families. Affordability should not
and is not a barrier to receiving the gift of Catholic Education.
Therefore, KCSS offers confidential
tuition assistance to families through the FACTS financial aid process.
FACTS will assess each family's individual financial situation.
It is our mission to assist you through the tuition assistance process.
During the 2009-2010 school year we were able to help 50 students, 25 families, for a total of $53,141.00 in
tuition assistance.
The application can be completed online in the privacy of your own home
by following this link: www.factstuitionaid.com.
The application process requires a fee of $20 and a copy of your tax
return. If you are unable to complete the process online, please
contact Jessica at our Business Office 759-4508 to receive a paper
application.

Preschool/Pre-K families do not have a fundraising requirement as our
K-8 families do. You may, however choose to participate in a fundraiser
in which you would be eligible for a 50/50 split of your fundraising
sale profit. For example, if you earn $100 in fundraisting profits, $50
would be credited toward your tuition and the other $50 would go toward
improving the quality of KCSS education.
