Payment Options

PLAN #1: Full tuition paid directly to the school by July 15th 2008 receives a $100.00 discount. This is a non F.A.C.T.S payment plan. The check should be made out to Pope John Paul II Catholic Academy.
PLAN #2: Two Equal Payments due in July '08 & December '08 using the F.A.C.T.S Tuition Management Service.
PLAN #3: Ten Monthly Payments starting July '08 through April '09. Payments will be set up for Electronic Funds Transfer on either the 5th or the 20th of the month through the F.A.C.T.S. Tuition System.
Financial Assistance
There will be financial assistance to all qualified families based upon income levels. The Catholic Schools Foundation and a new Pope John Paul II Scholarship Fund will be committed to increasing the amount of financial aid for the September 2008 school year. Our hope is that with this additional aid we can continue to make a strong Catholic education affordable for all children who want to attend Pope John Paul II Catholic Academy.
How to Apply for Financial Aid
All Financial Aid is applied to the tuition account. Only students / families that complete the F.A.C.T.S. Aid and Grant Assessment are eligible for tuition assistance from Catholic Schools Foundation or the Pope John Paul II Scholarship Fund. Applications can be completed manually or online by April 1st. The deadlines must be followed.
