Tuition, Scholarships & Financial Assistance

Registration Fee Payments

To simplify the re-registration process, we have automated the 2018-2019 registration fee payment for continuing students. The non-refundable registration fee of $500 is automatically drafted during your March tuition billing cycle.  Registration fees are required to be paid in full during spring registration and are not rolled into the monthly tuition payments. Late fees are assessed by SMART Tuition for payments not received by the due date.

SMART Tuition Payment Options

Tuition and fees are paid through SMART Tuition (SMART Tuition is not a bank loan program). Because SMART Tuition is our payment system for additional activities such as busing and after care, every family is required to set up automatic payments with either a credit card, debit card, or checking/savings account (ACH), regardless of the payment option selected.

There are two due dates offered – the 5th or the 15th of each month. New families will select their preference during the registration/enrollment process. Returning families should review their SMART Tuition account at www.SmartTuition.com to verify banking and contact information. If you have any questions regarding your SMART Tuition login, please contact asignorelli@holycrosstigers.com

Holy Cross School offers two payment options:

Important Notes for 2018-2019:

• If you are a returning family, SMART Tuition will automatically continue your tuition payments for the 2018-2019 school year according to the payment plan you selected for the previous school year.
• If you plan to pay your tuition in full, you may do so at any time through SMART Tuition beginning April 16, 2018. Families who pay tuition in full by May 5 will receive an “Early Bird Discount” of $150. If you were on the “payment in full” plan last year and choose to automatically enroll in that plan again this year, your payment will auto-draft on May 5, 2018 and you will automatically receive the $150 Early Bird Discount.
• If you paid in monthly installments last year, SMART Tuition will automatically enroll you in this plan for 2018-2019, and your first draft will take place on either June 5 or June 15. This draft will include your first month’s payment and the $350 processing fee.
• To make changes to your payment plan, we ask that you please email asignorelli@holycrosstigers.com by April 13, 2018 to give us sufficient time to process your request.

Need-Based Financial Assistance (High School Only)

In order to be considered for our need-based financial assistance, families of accepted students will apply and provide supporting documents directly to SMART Aid.

• Moreau Tuition Assistance Award: This award is designated for young men of outstanding character who could benefit from a Holy Cross education but could not otherwise afford it. Nominated by their parish priest or current principal, Moreau scholars are positive stewards of the Holy Cross School.
• Work Study Awards: Recipients earn an hourly wage, which is deducted from tuition at the end of the summer. Because some work is strenuous and not suitable for all students, this opportunity is exclusively for high school students.
