Investing in Your Child’s Future Together
We are excited to share that providing a high-quality Catholic education for your child is more attainable than ever. While we have announced our updated tuition rates for the upcoming school year, we lead with the wonderful news that the vast majority of our families qualify for the EdChoice Expansion Scholarship.
Through this state-funded program, most families can have the majority—and in many cases, the entirety—of their tuition covered. We are committed to ensuring that financial barriers do not stand in the way of a faith-filled education.
Take the Next Step
We invite you to visit our Financial Aid Page to learn how the EdChoice Expansion works and to view the simple steps to apply. We also list other financial aid opportunities you may qualify for. Our administration team is here to walk alongside you through this process to ensure your family receives the maximum support available.
At the heart of our community is a deep recognition of the choices you make every day. We understand that choosing a Catholic education often requires significant personal sacrifice and a reorganization of family priorities. Please know how much we admire and appreciate your dedication to giving your child an education rooted in academic excellence and Gospel values. Thank you for trusting us with your child’s journey.
For questions about EdChoice or financial aid, please contact Mrs. Marsha Barnes at mbarnes@sttmschool.org, 513–753-2540.

Additionally, FACTS Management will charge the family account on file a $30 late fee for any charge not paid by the due date.
Families may monitor their account or seek assistance by directly contacting FACTS Management.
