FAQ:
What is Financial Aid at St. Philip?
Financial aid is a tuition program that allows families to pay what they can reasonably afford to attend St. Philip. With our financial aid program, each family pays a rate of tuition that fits their unique financial situation. This program is for families with at least one student in kindergarten through 8th grade. Financial aid makes a St. Philip education affordable to many students and families who could not otherwise join our school community.
How Does Financial Aid Work?
Any family (current or new) of a Kindergarten through 8th grade student may apply for financial aid if they feel they may not be able to afford the full tuition rate at St. Philip. The factors considered when determining the tuition amount a family is able to pay include income and the size of the family. The goal is that each family is asked to pay what they can reasonably afford.
Applications are submitted directly to FACTS Management, a third-party agency. FACTS evaluates the application and makes a recommendation to the school’s financial aid Committee. Families are notified of the tuition level for which they qualify from the school’s financial office.
​
What if I have a financial circumstance not reflected in my Financial Aid application?
If you have a unique or special circumstance (medical bills, caring for an aging parent, etc.) that affects your ability to pay the Financial Aid amount awarded, please reach out to Mrs. Tennis at dtennis@stphiliplutheran.com
What is the cost to apply for Financial Aid?
Each family pays a $35 application fee to FACTS. This fee is per family and not per student. Families whose income level is under a certain amount will have the fee waived.​
If I do not qualify for the program this year, can I apply again next year?
Yes. A family that does not qualify is welcome to reapply the following year.
Are some families awarded full tuition?
No. Every family is required to make a financial investment in their child’s education. Our commitment to providing Financial Aid means that we are sharing in that investment with you.
Does Financial Aid factor in multiple students attending St. Philip?
Multiple students are one of the key factors in determining Financial Aid. One of the important questions asked on the confidential Financial Aid application relates to family size and number of students enrolled at St. Philip. The Financial Aid amount is what the family as a whole will be asked to pay. Families paying the full tuition amount will continue to receive the multiple child discounts.
