Financial Support and Tuition
The costs for educating children in all grade levels are primarily met in one of two ways: 

A) Children of St. Paul Lutheran Church member families have part of their tuition costs paid for them by the total membership of the congregation.  Thus, all members of the congregation, whether they have children enrolled or not, lend financial support to the school because the annual budget requirements for the school's operation are included as part of the total congregational responsibilities.  However, church member families with enrolled children pay a minimum monthly tuition payment and are to be faithful in their church attendance and generous contributors in their weekly offerings, realizing that St. Paul Lutheran Church has taken on a sizable responsibility in sponsoring a school.  An increase in church support to the operations of the school often hinders the other ministries sponsored by the congregation. 


B) Children whose families are not members of St. Paul Lutheran Church, pay tuition reflecting the approximate cost of educating a child at St. Paul.  This tuition fee does not reflect building costs and related expenses as these costs are borne by the congregation as an indication of their support of Christian education.  Annually these fees are established after careful examination of the operational costs.  The yearly tuition fees may be paid in full or made in ten installments from August 1 through the first of May.

Tuition and childcare fees are due on the 1st day of each month.  Payments received after the 5th of each month are considered past due.  A late fee of 1% of the balance will be charged after that date.  Post-dated checks will not be accepted.  Students will not be allowed to attend classes when an account becomes delinquent 30 days from the past due date.  Likewise, all accounts must be fully paid by the last day of school for issuance of final report cards and/or release of transcripts.

There is a $30 charge for all returned checks. Satisfactory arrangements must be made to honor the returned checks or they will be forwarded to the Travis County Attorney’s Office.
