Tuition & Payment Plans

As a school community, we are committed to making an education at DePaul Prep possible for families from diverse backgrounds. DePaul Prep understands that Catholic high school education is an investment in your future. Tuition is the backbone of our budget. There is a gap between tuition charged and the true cost of educating each student. Our Board of Directors, generous donors, and outside charitable organizations compensate the difference between the actual cost and the tuition charged.

Tuition is billed via the FACTS Tuition Payment System. All families must enroll in FACTS, maintaining a valid payment method on the account at all times. Our tuition payment cycle for the coming school year is from July 2022 to April 2023. Tuition can be paid in full in July, semi-annually, quarterly, or spread over the 10-month period from July to April. The $250 Graduation fee and $250 Kairos fee are billed via FACTS. The fee for the International Baccalaureate Programme is $1,700 which can be paid over the two years of the IB Program, via FACTS. Individual IB classes are $200 per class. Contributions to the Fund for Excellence can also be paid through FACTS in one payment or paid incrementally when paired to your tuition payment plan.

A family will incur additional costs for books, one-to-one technology, uniforms and meals.

All DePaul College Prep students and families are required to contribute to the Fund for Excellence Annual Appeal and at least one other fundraiser.

WITHDRAWALS FROM DEPAUL COLLEGE PREP | Tuition payments support faculty salaries and operating expenses for the entire academic year. Tuition payments are collected from July through April. If a student withdraws or is dismissed for any reason during the period from July through May, monthly tuition payments which have been made will not be refunded. If tuition payments are paid in full, paid semi- annually or paid quarterly, a prorated tuition payment may be refunded at the discretion of the school.

Tuition, Payment Plans, Scholarship, & Financial Aid: How does it work?

Tuition Payment Plan Information
Tuition collection begins in July. DePaul College Prep will finalize the terms of your tuition payment plans in FACTS between late April and mid-June. Please watch for a “Notice of Payment Plan Finalization” from FACTS in your email. Check the balances for accuracy and the payment plan type (monthly, quarterly, semiannual, annual) to ensure it meets your needs. As a reminder, if you selected payment in full, the entire amount of tuition will be withdrawn from your account in July. Payments in full made by July 15 receive a 2% discount.

FACTS
You are the owner of your tuition payment plan and are able to self-manage, view balances, change payment methods and view payment history of the account on your own. If you need assistance, the number for FACTS Customer Service is 866-441-4637. Many customer requests can be handled by you and FACTS, and do not require DePaul Prep’s assistance.

Families can choose from preferred payment dates in FACTS to adjust a payment date up to 72 hours before the scheduled payment event. The ability to make a timely courtesy adjustment to your payment date through the tuition office is not guaranteed. You should carefully review your payment plan to ensure it meets your pay-day schedule at the beginning of the school year. Be aware that payments due on a Monday will be put on a bank hold by your bank on Friday. Payments due on a Holiday will be placed on hold the day before, or the Friday before a long holiday weekend.

There are some customer requests that only the school can approve. In those cases, FACTS will direct you to contact our Tuition and Financial Aid Manager Anne Marie Piazza for account adjustments. We will do our best to accommodate requests but cannot guarantee that a courtesy adjustment can be made before your scheduled payment date.

Merit Scholarship
If your student earned a merit scholarship based on their entrance exam score, that information will be communicated to you in your acceptance letter. Merit scholarships show as a credit in your tuition payment plan.

Financial Aid
The financial aid application for 2022-2023 school year is open as of October 1, 2021. Returning families must apply for financial aid every year. The application closes for incoming freshmen on December 31, 2021 and on February 7, 2022 for returning families. Financial aid decisions are made only on complete and verified applications. Please carefully review our financial aid FAQs on the financial aid page of this website. Financial aid awards show as a credit in your tuition payment plan.

Outside Scholarships and Grammar School Awards
If you have earned an outside scholarship such as a renewable Big Shoulders Fund Scholarship, HighSight, LINK, HFS, HFY, or a scholarship awarded by your grammar school, please send proof of scholarship to apiazza@depaulprep.org as soon as possible, so that the adjustment can be made to your payment plan. These awards show as a credit in your tuition payment plan upon verification. If we do not receive a proof of scholarship from you, we have no way to know that your account should be credited.

Incidental Billing & FACTS
There are two features to your FACTS account: Tuition Payment Plans and Incidental Billing. Tuition Payment plans are for your annual tuition and the IB Program. Incidental Billing is for bus fees, AP Exams, Summer School, Kairos Retreats, annual registration, and other incidental charges. Families are required to attach a payment method to both accounts. You will never be charged in either account without prior notice via email from FACTS. To dispute charges, please email apiazza@depaulprep.org.

Withdrawals From DePaul College Prep
Tuition payment plans begin in July for every family that paid a registration fee. Incoming freshmen families must email admissions @depaulprep.org to withdraw your acceptance and to close your FACTS account. Returning families please refer to the Parent Student Handbook which explains that you must notify the registrar mhubbard@depaulprep.org to initiate a transfer. All balances must be paid in full to complete the student transfer. Please carefully review the Tuition Refund Policy below.

Tuition Refund Policy
Tuition payments support faculty salaries and operating expenses for the entire academic year. Tuition payments are collected from July through April. If a student withdraws or is dismissed for any reason during the period from July through May, monthly tuition payments which have been made will not be refunded. If tuition payments are paid in full, paid semi-annually, or paid quarterly, a prorated tuition payment may be refunded at the school’s discretion.
