It is understood and appreciated the financial commitment and sacrifice families undertake in deciding to send their children to a Catholic school. And although paying for education is first and foremost the responsibility of a family, each school and the Archdiocese of Baltimore devote significant funds each year to financial aid programs that help assist families. In turn, our school communities benefit by attracting students that otherwise would not be able to attend our schools.

Tuition Refund Policy

Enrollment fees for Pre-K through Grade 8 are non-refundable. In the spring of each year, families register students for the upcoming school year, which requires a signed tuition agreement. This agreement obligates the undersigned to pay the entire tuition of the upcoming school year, without regard to student absence, withdrawal. or dismissal for any reason.

If a student is withdrawn in writing by July 1 (in the summer prior to the school year in question), Sacred Heart School will forgive or refund all but one month's tuition.
If a student is withdrawn in writing between July 2 and August 31, (in the summer prior to the school year in question), Sacred Heart School will forgive or refund 25% of the tuition obligation.
If a student is withdrawn on or after September 1 (of that academic year), the undersigned is/are not entitled to forgiveness or refund of tuition from Sacred Heart.

In extraordinary circumstances of documented financial hardship (such as sudden loss of income, serious illness, death or divorce), the undersigned may contact the principal in writing to request a hardship exception.

What is grant and aid?

Tuition assistance is a need-based analysis of the cost of education vs. a family’s ability to pay and these awards do not need to be repaid. To objectively assess what a family is able to contribute to its student(s) education expenses, an independent third party (FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment) is used. The money awarded will be distributed under the following priorities:

Current recipients of Financial Aid; and
Financial need of a family

How do I apply for grants and aid?

First, financial aid is available to registered parishioners of any Catholic church in the Archdiocese of Baltimore. A financial grant may apply to each student, so a family with several children in the school or in various Catholic schools in the Archdiocese could receive a grant for each child. This financial aid is available for need-based families and the money for tuition assistance comes from your fellow parishioners. Need is determined through an online FACTS application at online.factsmgt.com. Please contact your pastor for more information on how to apply for financial aid.

Additionally, tuition assistance is awarded by the Archdiocese of Baltimore. Archdiocesan tuition assistance generally comes from two funding sources: the Partners in Excellence Program and the Archdiocese of Baltimore School Fund. The Archdiocese is also contracted with FACTS so each family need only apply for grant and aid once. All applications will be reviewed by the Archdiocese to determine which families may also qualify for Archdiocesan aid. Grants awarded by the Archdiocese are renewed annually for the child's entire K-12 Catholic education as long as the family is still eligible.

Beginning November 1, 2021, applications for financial aid will be accepted for the 2021-2022 school year, and the Archdiocese of Baltimore asks families to have all necessary forms submitted no later than February 28, 2022.

All tuition assistance awards are generally communicated in late April/early May for the Archdiocese aid. All families are eligible to apply to the Archdiocese of Baltimore for tuition grants and aid each year if they are a current family or have already applied for enrollment to Sacred Heart School of Glyndon
