Option 2:  A monthly payment plan may be set-up. Payments plans are set up through STS and are due the 10th of each month August through May.

Two need-based tuition assistance programs are available to those who qualify: The Neumann Scholarship Foundation administered through the Diocese of Harrisburg and York Catholic’s Tuition Assistance Program funded by generous donors. The Simple Tuition Solutions (STS) online application for tuition assistance is due no later than March 1, 2022 for the 2022-23 school year. We do our best to help every family with financial need; however, applying for aid after the deadline greatly diminishes the chance for tuition assistance as the monies available may have already been allotted.  The online tuition assistance application is available through Simple Tuition Solutions (STS).

Yes, aid is not automatically renewed. Tuition assistance application forms must be submitted for each school year.  The STS Financial Aid Application fee is $25.
