Tuition


You have an important financial decision to make for your family.  You must decide how to finance your child's education at Butler Catholic Preschool.  The following is a brief summary of the tuition assistance programs available to you to help you afford this investment in your child.  The Pastors and Principal at Butler Catholic Preschool want to be a support to you in this process of financing your child's tuition.  We want to make sure that you have investigated and understand every option available to you.  If you have any questions, please contact the school at 724-285-4276.

Unless you clearly feel that you will not be eligible, you should apply for tuition assistance.  Last year 95% of our families that applied received some level of tuition assistance for a total amount of $36,000.  We cannot give any rules of thumb of who should or should not apply based on income, since the award is dependent on a number of factors.  For example, family income, number of dependents, tuition rates, the needs of other families applying, the amount of funds available to distribute and any extenuating circumstances.

In order to apply, please contact the school office to obtain a Private School Aid Service (PSAS) application, which requires tax return information.  All information is kept strictly confidential.  If you decide to apply and need help completing the application, please contact the school office.

Programs Available:

  • Pre-School Scholastic Opportunity Scholarship Program (SOS):  This grant program is for any Pre-Kindergarten student (Catholic or Non-Catholic) attending any eligible Catholic school in the Diocese of Pittsburgh.

  •  Parish Angel Fund:  These funds are distributed by each individual parish.  You must contact your Pastor to inquire about eligibility.

One last thought to leave you with regarding an education at Butler Catholic Preschool.  Things that we purchase for our children come and go, but the gifts of quality academics, stimulating faith formation, and high self-esteem they receive at Butler Catholic School last a lifetime.  Thank you for giving your child that gift!
