St. Joseph Mission School has a deep commitment to make sure all of our families have the financial support they need.

St. Joseph Mission School is pleased to waive tuition requirements for the 2023-2024 school year. This is due to the consistent support we receive from benefactors to cover the cost of education, and the various support avenues we provide for our students to be covered by financial assistance. There will be a $200 registration fee for students K to 8th grade, with no waivers. Registration fee must be paid before students can begin class. A St. Joseph School Financial Aid Application must be completed and on file to receive any additional Tuition Assistance, (i.e. St. Joseph Scholarships/Tuition Assistance Grants, etc.).

Tuition Assistance will be determined on a case by case basis.

Financial responsibility is covered by applying for our scholarship opportunities:

ACE Scholarship: deadline April 18th
Franciscan Fund: deadline July 15th

Without filling out scholarship applications, the cost of education cannot be covered. Without fulfilling these requirements, parents/guardians will be subject to pay the tuition cost for students, to cover the cost of education.
Many Scholarships are through a third party company that conducts financial analysis to determine your family’s financial need based on information provided on the application, including an annual federal tax return and W-2’s.
