Tuition & Aid

Typically the amount of tuition for the upcoming school year is determined in January. A $500 deposit and a completed re-enrollment contract start the payment process for the next year. The deposit is then deducted from the total tuition when a payment option is selected. The tuition for Sacred Heart Academy for the 2010–2011 school year is $10,600.

There are four tuition payment options:

OPTION 1: $500 Deposit has been paid. Balance due by June 1.

OPTION 2: $500 Deposit has been paid. 50% of balance due by June 1, 2010 and 50% due by July 1.

OPTION 3: $500 Deposit has been paid. 100% of balance paid via bank financing from June to March. A Loan Application must be received by NewAlliance Bank by March 1.

OPTION 4: $500 Deposit has been paid. Partial payment due by June 1, 2010 and remaining balance paid via bank financing from June to March. A Loan Application is due to NewAlliance by March 1.

Approximately 20 percent of the students at Sacred Heart Academy receive financial aid through the school’s endowment fund. Seventy named scholarships and scholarships from the endowment fund are available annually. Financial aid is based on both academics and need and is available to students during their four years at the academy. A student must be enrolled, $500 tuition deposit paid, for the 2010-2011 school year before an application for Financial Aid will be considered.
