Tuition and Financial Aid

The St. Peter Catholic School is committed to providing a faith-filled, quality academic education for our children. The actual cost of educating each child in our Catholic school is an average of $7,352.00 for students in kindergarten through 8th grade. In an effort to keep Catholic school tuition increases to a minimum, our parish subsidizes tuition costs for each child in 2019-2020 as indicated below.

Tuition Assistance is available at the Diocesan level through the online TADS program. Please visit www.tuitionaid.com to access the Financial Aid Assessment documents.

Further scholarship opportunities are available through the St. Peter Scholarship Fund and are distributed based on data identified via the TADS program.

Referring a family that registers and enrolls at St. Peter Catholic School for the next school year will earn $500 off your tuition bill (separate rate for preschool). The best way for us to fill our school is through word of mouth! Discount is for one year, one per family.

Current preschool families who register their child for kindergarten will receive a 15% discount off tuition. Discount is for one year.
A 2% discount will be applied if tuition is paid in full before September 1, 2019.

A Note From Our Principal

Dear Parents,

I am very aware of the sacrifice many of our families make when they commit to Catholic education. The Diocese and the Parish provide some funds to help families who demonstrate financial need. There are two additional ways to earn money towards your tuition costs:

1. Universal Education Supporters (uesdenver.org)
This is a non-profit organization that has the sole purpose to serve Catholic education, pre-K through college, and help families meet their tuition obligations. UES staffs concession stands at major sporting events around the Denver metro area. Visit the website for more information. I have also included a link for a summary of overview of their program.

FAQ please visit: http://www.uesdenver.org/faq/

2. The SCRIP program. Each family is required to earn $150 a school year in SCRIP money. Use the reloadable Safeway Cards for your food and gas purchases. Many of our experienced families have some serious SCRIP skills and are willing to share their talents! Any amount after that goes toward your tuition for the next school year. Some families have earned over $2,000 towards their tuition.
**If you shop at King Soopers and link your card to the school, you can earn money for Saint Peter Catholic School; however, money earned does not apply to individual SCRIP accounts.

3. Don't forget to apply through TADS for the Diocesan tuition assistance. We will reimburse the fee on your August tuition payment if you do not qualify for assistance. This year, we are receiving over $100,000 in tuition assistance through this program. The application and paperwork must be completed by April 15. Visit www.mytads.com for the on-line application.

4. You will receive $500 off your tuition when you refer a family and they enroll at SPCS for the 2019-2020 school year.

God Bless,
Sheila Whalen
