Tuition Assistance

Registration fees and tuition comprise 60% - 65% of the income for Butler Catholic School. Tuition assistance is available through the funds listed as well as a tuition credit program. 

Catholic rates are lower due to the Parish subsidy. You may inquire about a Parish subsidy from your own Parish and possibly reduce your amount of tuition.

TUITION CREDIT PROGRAMS

Your participation in the BCBucks Program (gift cards) and Market Day (frozen foods) can reduce your tuition up to $600 per family! Butler Catholic School will split the profit made in each of these programs by a rate of 50% from July through April. These amounts will be accumulated throughout the school year and will be deducted from your final tuition payment in May. If your earned tuition credit is more than your May payment, the remaining credit will be applied against your April tuition payment. 

TUITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS 

You have an important financial decision to make for your family. You must decide how to finance your child's education at Butler Catholic School. 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 School want to support you in the 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.
