Tuition for the 2010-2011 school year is $7,950.  A $200 non-refundable deposit is required during registration that takes place in January. Fees that are not included in the cost of tuition include sports fees, technology (laptop) fee, e-book licensing fee and the fee for setting up the tuition payment plan.  Detailed information regarding fees is made available to our families during the registration process.

Payment Options
Tuition can be paid in full prior to the start of the school year or on a monthly basis.  Families will be asked to notify the school of their payment choice in April. Monthly payments will begin in July and will run through May of the following year. Families applying after April are processed on an individual basis.  The first down payment on the tuition balance is due by June 30th.  This down payment is 10% of the tuition balance after deposits, scholarships, and grants are deducted. Please call Linda Janick, Executive Assistant at (414) 481-8370 x 101 for additional information.

Financial Aid
Saint Thomas More High School understands that families make sacrifices to provide their children with a Catholic education.  Financial aid is available for families that demonstrate financial need. While families must demonstrate need, aid is awarded based on a student’s academic performance, conduct, attendance and participation in extra-curricular activities.  Students are ranked according to this criteria and the percentage of aid that will be awarded will be determined by each student's rank.
Families must re-apply for grants each school year.

To apply for Financial Aid, incoming and current families must fill out an application with FACTS, STM’s outside financial aid evaluation service.  Families can apply online at www.factstuitionaid.com.  You can also fill out a paper application and mail it to FACTS.  Please contact Cynthia Salisbury (csalisbury@tmore.org) to request a packet.
