Tuition Assistance
Tuition Assistance
Ave Maria Catholic School offers several ways for parents to offset the costs of tuition.
​
  • TRIP (Tuition Reduction Incentive Program) for Preschool through 8th Grade.  Ave Maria has revamped the Shop with Ave Maria Scrip Program into a Tuition Reduction Incentive Program.  Scrip is a term that means “substitute money”.  Parents can use Scrip to purchase gift cards and/or King Soopers cards for everyday expenses like food, clothing, gas, and other essentials, and with every purchase, parents earn revenue for Ave Maria Catholic School.  100% -5% (supplies, shipping, bookkeeping costs) = 95 % of earned rebates will go toward your tuition amount (other options for designation of funds will also be available.)
  • The Student Referral Program offers a tuition credit for currently enrolled families who refer new (K-8) students to Ave Maria​Catholic School.  Currently enrolled families can earn $1000 per enrolled student (up to $3000).
  • FACTS tuition assistance is also offered through FACTS and the process begins at the time of enrollment and creation of your FACTS tuition account. Families are highly encouraged to complete their tuition assistance request during the first round of review in February.
