Financial Assistance

Applying for Financial Assistance

At Saint Joseph’s Catholic Academy we believe that no student, regardless of their family's financial situation, should be denied a Catholic education.  It is the goal of Saint Joseph's to work with each family to provide an affordable Catholic education to those who are seeking this opportunity for their child.

Current Tuition Rates
Contact the Saint Joseph’s Principal, Mrs. Anna Rupprecht, at arupprecht@sjcacademy.org or or 814-808-6118 to learn about current tuition rates and learn more how affordable a Catholic education can be at Saint Joseph’s. Saint Joseph’s Catholic Academy requires that all tuition payments be made through STS (Simple Tuition Solutions).

Need-based Financial Assistance
Saint Joseph's Catholic Academy has partnered with Simple Tuition Solutions (STS) to determine eligibility for need-based, tuition assistance. To be considered for tuition assistance, parents/guardians of new and current students must

  • Complete the online STS financial assistance application
  • Submit all required, supportive documentation
  • Payment of a nonrefundable $25 application fee

Further, in order for your student's financial assistance to be awarded, all FinalSite enrollment checklist items (except for tuition contract submission) must be completed.

To learn more about the STS process, click on the orange "Download STS Instructions" link below.  To begin the STS application, click on the orange "Log In STS" link to navigate directly to the the online STS system.  If needed, our school code is 20446.  Financial assistance awards are general announced in June.

Scholarships
Thanks to the generosity of donors, students, and families within the Saint Joseph's Catholic Academy community, Saint Joseph's is able to offer need-based and merit-based scholarships to qualified incoming and returning students.  Click here to learn more about scholarship opportunities.

Special Circumstances
We recognize some families may have special circumstances that are not accounted for in the Simple Tuition Solutions application. In these cases, after the parent/guardian completes the STS application and submits any required documentation, we ask that a parent set up a personal consultation to discuss the family's needs and the development of a personalized tuition plan.

To schedule a personal consultation about tuition assistance, please contact Mrs. Anna Rupprecht, Saint Joseph's Principal, at arupprecht@sjcacademy.org or 814-808-6118.
