Tuition and Financial Assistance

2020-2021 Tuition and Financial Expectations

Tuition payments may be made annually, semi-annually, quarterly or in 10 or 11 monthly installments. Monthly and quarterly payments are made through electronic funds transfers only. Deductions are debited in the months of June through April.

With education costs continuing to escalate year after year, funds raised through the SPSV Fund ensures that the school is operational by providing much-needed tuition assistance and important campus and curriculum enhancements, extracurricular activities, faculty and staff professional development, educational resources and materials, and so much more. All parents are asked to make a gift to the SPSV Fund that is personally significant to each family so we can achieve 100% participation—an important message SPSV takes to alumni and others when asking for their support. Unlike tuition, the SPSV Fund contributions are tax-deductible as charitable gifts to the extent provided by law. Support in our annual fundraising events, the Harvest Festival & Auction and Crab Feed, are critical to strengthening and sustaining the operational and long-term fiscal needs of SPSV. Parents and guardians are also expected to contribute their time and talent through our Parent Service Program.

* Freshmen and new transfer student registration fee is discounted $100. Also, discounted $100 to returning families if paid by 4/15.

Tuition Assistance

St. Patrick-St. Vincent Catholic High School is the most affordable, fully-accredited college preparatory high school in the greater Bay Area. We offer advanced placement academics, competitive athletic programs, visual and performing arts and a robust offering of student life activities, at a cost that remains attainable for most families seeking a private school experience.

The Diocese of Sacramento and St. Patrick - St. Vincent Catholic High School provide Tuition Assistance for families who qualify. Tuition Assistance allows the school to assist students who might otherwise be unable to attend. The school makes every effort to work with families so that their students may be able to enjoy our quality Catholic education.

To qualify for assistance a family must demonstrate need. To be considered for assistance, a family must submit an application to Tuition Aid Data Services (TADS), which assesses the application and advises the School. TADS may be accessed by clicking on this link. TADS will also require you to email or mail physical copies of tax returns and W2's. A letter explaining any changes in financial situation or extraordinary circumstances is highly recommended. Although the total financial need always exceeds the School's resources, SPSV strives to help as many families as possible.

Families must submit their application beginning November 1st. Questions may be directed to our Tuition Manager at (707) 644-4425 ext. 420. Applications should be received by TADS by January 31st. Families of returning students who received assistance from the previous year must reapply each school year. Notification of aid will be mailed for completed TADS applications rated "good" from St. Patrick-St. Vincent Catholic High School starting March 1st.
