Fair Share Tuition
St. Frances Cabrini School is a FAIR SHARE school. That means that every family is expected to pay their Fair Share of what it actually costs to educate each child. Fair Share strives to make Catholic education affordable to all who commit themselves to the purpose and goals of the school. Each family is expected to prayerfully examine their household budget and determine the maximum amount it can pay in relation to the cost of education.
Some families cannot afford the full cost. If the family is truly able to pay only part of the cost, the family must decide how much of the actual cost it can afford. Then, according to the qualifications, the family may apply for a Parish Grant and/or School Tuition Assistance.
"Tuition" less than the Total Cost of Education. Our scheduled tuition rates are the amounts we encourage parents to pay. Our fund raising activities (Auction, Annual Giving Campaign, Parent Association activities, etc.) and Endowment significantly lower our schedule of tuition thus making a Cabrini education more affordable to all.
Additional assistance (see below) may be available if a family needs to further supplement their funding of their child's Cabrini education.
