TUITION PAYMENT OPTIONS
Families are given three payment options for the balance of tuition and fees due after the deposit, financial aid, and merit scholarship awards are applied. An option must be indicated on the enrollment contract.
Prepayment: 3% discount on tuition if the balance due is paid in full by May 15, 2013.
Two Payments: One half of the balance is due on July 1, 2013; the other half is due on November 17, 2013.
Monthly Payments: The balance due is divided into ten equal monthly payments. Families must enroll in FACTS Tuition Management to qualify for monthly payments. The FACTS plan is based on automatic electronic payments, as authorized by parents from their checking or savings accounts. The entire amount of tuition and fees due is paid over a 10-month period, beginning on July 5 or July 20, 2013.
