Our goal is to keep tuition costs affordable for all families while also being transparent about the true "Cost ToEducate" (CTE) at your school. To achieve this goal, the Diocese of Scranton Catholic Schools Office presentsthe tuition structure model that shares the CTE at your school and offers options to families to reduce this cost toeducate to help keep tuition payments at a manageable level. The Diocese of Scranton is offering a guaranteed scholarship to families when the family either participates in the PA State Tuition Tax Credit Program (alsoreferred to as the EITC Scholarship program as presented by RedefinED in the fall) and/or completes the tuitionassistance application, which can be done during the online enrollment process.

The cost to educate a student at St. Mary of Mount Carmel School is $7,772.00.

To reduce the CTE, follow these steps:

1. Apply for Tuition Assistance. The Diocese of Scranton Catholic Schools Office works with a third party vendor, FACTS Grant and Aid, to evaluate all applications. Using objective criteria, the applications are ranked according to need within each school. You only need to complete one online application evenif you have students attending multiple Diocesan schools.and/or
