How is it possible to set tuition below the actual cost?
This is made possible through the generous contributions of our local parishes, community donors, and fundraising efforts. Therefore, we ask each family to appreciate a below-cost tuition rate and partner with us through fundraising. Fundraising is a necessary instrument to assist in meeting the annual operating costs of the school and allows us to maintain a below-cost tuition rate.
The Standard Tuition Rate
Our tuition rate includes fees for technology, books, yearbook, and the Family Association. We offer support through needs-based tuition assistance and through the multi-student discount. Families who enroll more than one child at Stella Maris Academy in grades K-High School will receive a progressive $650/student discount starting with the second child.
tuition Assistance
Tuition assistance is available for families who demonstrate financial need so that no child is turned away for financial reasons. This is made possible through the Community Support Scholarship program. We are blessed with a community of supporters dedicated to assisting families who demonstrate financial need. Tuition assistance is facilitated through Blackbaud’s Financial Aid Management online application. If you applied for tuition assistance last year, please log into your account, confirm your application details and upload current required documents. If you are new to the process, you will need to create an account in order to apply. Visit https://studentfinancialaid.blackbaud.school or contact mike.mazzio@stellamaris.academy for further help.
