2012-13 Divine Providence School Tuition Rates

Financing Your Schools Tuition

Divine Providence has two options to make tuition payments easier: annual tuition can be paid in full before the end of August, or annual tuition can be paid in monthly installment using the SMART Tuition Management Program.  There is a $38 annual fee for use of this program. Payments can be made electronically or by mail on a ten or eleven month basis.  Payment is due on the 10th or the 20th day of the month.

The Divine Providence Manna Program is a simple and effective tool to help you with your tuition needs.  The Manna Program helps you earn money for your tuition while you shop.  It’s easy to use; just buy gift certificates for local merchants and a percent of the amount is given back to you in the form of a tuition rebate.  There are over 100 companies that participate in the program.  Buy Dominick’s or Jewel each week to pay for your groceries.  Buy a gas debit card and use it to fill your tank. There are many department stores, restaurants, and other retailers also available. Credits are made to your tuition account quarterly.

Each family is responsible for a fundraising fee.  This amount is equal to $250 per child, or $500 maximum per family.  At the beginning of the year, instead of collecting this amount outright you will be provided with raffle tickets worth $10 each for the amount of your fundraising fee.  If you choose to sell your tickets to family and friends, they can help you offset this fee.  Raffle winners are selected and announced at the annual Christmas show.

All parents may request a statement in January to submit for the State of Illinois tax credit of up to $500 for tuition and fees paid for students in K-12 based on a percentage of the amount paid in a calendar year.

The McInerney Scholarship fund is available to provide financial assistance to eligible families who do not have the financial resources to attend a Catholic School.  Requests are considered upon individual appointments with our pastor, Father Tom Unz.
