Tuition & Fees 2013-2014

ENROLLMENT CONTRACT

Current families must return the signed enrollment agreement no later than March 1, 2013. If the contract is not returned to the School by March 1, 2013 the student's space will be offered to another applicant.

The $500 Registration fee will be processed according to the payment plan selected, (ACH, credit card or check) and will be processed with the tuition that is due on March 1, 2013.

The enrollment agreement becomes effective when the School's Finance Office receives the signed contract and the accompanying registration fee, and it is accepted by the Principal of the School.

The registration fee is non-refundable.

ENROLLMENT AGREEMENT CANCELLATION 

The School must be notified in writing, postmarked no later than June 1, 2013, for cancellation of the agreement and its obligations. A letter must be sent to the Principal of the School with a copy to the Finance Office specifically stating the intent to withdraw the student.

After June 1, 2013, cancellation carries the obligation to pay the entire school year tuition and fees. As stated in the enrollment agreement, the obligation becomes fixed and irrevocable. The School contracts with faculty members in the spring for the following school year, and the School's obligation is fixed and irrevocable.

There are no exceptions to this cancellation policy.

By signing the Enrollment Contract, you agree to accept all applicable conditions as outlined in the Financial Policies handbook.

PAYMENT OF TUITION

Tuition bills will be mailed approximately ten days before the due date. A student whose bill is not paid in full by the due date may not attend School until payment is received.

If a family wishes at any time during the School year to change its payment plan, a written request must be submitted to the Finance Office.

The individual signing the Enrollment Contract is solely responsible for payment of tuition, fees, and all incidental charges. The School will not attempt to collect payment from any other source.

There are four payment plans available:  Annual,Semi-Annual, Quarterly and Monthly

There are three forms of payment: Credit Card, ACH and Check. 
Please Note:  Credit card and check payments for tuition are limited to annual payment plans only.

Parents of all students who select ACH (automatic debit) or credit card authorization are required to fill out the ACH or credit card authorization contained in the Enrollment Contract each year.

Beginning June 1st, twelve monthly tuition payments will be directly debited from the family's primary checking account  on or about the first (lst) of each month.

Other fees will be debited on the due dates. You will receive a monthly statement showing account activity. 

OTHER CHARGES

Late Charge
A late charge of $25 a month will be applied to all delinquent accounts.  Tuition accounts will be considered past due if there is an unpaid balance after the 10th of the month

Insufficient Funds
There will be a $50 service charge for all returned checks or debit failures. If a second check or ACH is returned for insufficient funds, all payments for the remainder of the school year must be paid in cash, cashier's check or money orders. There will be a $50 service charge for all returned credit cards.

Change in Billing Terms
A $20 processing fee will be charged for any changes in billing terms after June 1st.

Credit Card Transaction Fee
As a convenience to our families, La Salle High School accepts MasterCard, Visa and Discover Credit Cards for payment of tuition.

The bank processing these cards charges La Salle each time we administer a credit card transaction. In order to partially defray the cost of this service, a one-time $25 transaction fee will appear on your June billing should you elect to pay your tuition by credit card. 

FINANCIAL AID

SCHOOL GUIDELINES

Financial Aid at La Salle is granted solely on the basis of family need and the availability of funds. La Salle uses the assistance of Private School Aid Service (PSAS) to evaluate and rank need among applicants.

Forms to request assistance are available in the Finance Office after December 1st for the upcoming academic year.

REQUIRED SUBMISSION TO PSAS

To begin the financial aid process, a PSAS application, forms, supporting documents, 2012 Tax Return (incoming students may use 2011 Tax Return), and a check made payable to Private School Aid Service must be mailed to PSAS directly by February 4, 2013 (incoming students must mail forms by January 18, 2013).

The School recommends that you begin this financial aid process early to meet this deadline. Please note this will require you to plan ahead in completing your tax returns. Failure to comply with the above requirements will result in the allocation of financial aid to another student.

REQUIRED SUBMISSIONS TO THE SCHOOL

In addition to sending PSAS a copy of your 2012 tax returns, you must supply the Finance Office with a second copy of your federal income tax return, including all applicable schedules PLUS a signed IRS Form by February 4, 2013.

We understand that it can be difficult for same families to submit a return by this deadline, but in order for the School to give fair consideration to all families, BOTH PSAS and the School must receive your tax return by February 4, 2013.

The financial aid awarded is for one year. Applicants must reapply each year. Failure to comply with financial aid deadlines will automatically disqualify the student from receiving aid. Misrepresentation or failure to disclose completely all information will result in the loss of financial aid.

The School utilizes PSAS to evaluate and rank each financial aid applicant. The School then reviews each applicant on an individual basis.

Unless there is an extraordinary circumstance that warrants aid, families who did not receive aid in the prior year will not be considered. Please contact the Finance Office as soon as possible if you find yourself in this situation.
