Jesuit High School Tuition Information It is challenging to manage the finances of a large school given the parameter that in 163 years, no qualified young man has been refused admission to Jesuit because his family could not afford to pay all or part of the tuition. Obviously it takes a great deal of effort to ensure Jesuit remains available to young men from all socio-economic strata. First and foremost, tuition must be kept at a level affordable to nearly all families. Tuition for the 2011 - 2012 academic year is $7,400. This still represents one of the least expensive tuitions among Catholic and private high schools in the New Orleans area. Facts About Jesuit Admissions Jesuit flourishes because of the generosity of its alumni and its parents who recognize the importance and value of a Jesuit education. Each year, through the Parents' Annual Giving drive, parents voluntarily contribute the difference (the gap) between tuition and the actual cost of educating a Jesuit student. Parents give what they can afford. The gap for the 2010 - 2011 academic year was $2,517 (tuition was $7.000).  Alumni also help defray expenses and keep tuition affordable by their generous contributions to the Living Endowment Fund (LEF) drive. Application Fee: $20, due with application Registration Fee: $200, for New Students ONLY; non-refundable; due upon acceptance      Books: $300-$500.

Other fees are inclusive in the tuition. There are no assessments such as library fees, student life fees, building or athletic fees, or matriculation fees.  Tuition: $7,400 for the 2011-12 school year The basic sum of $7,400 is payable either in a lump sum, or half by July 15, and the remaining half by December 1. (Jesuit's finance office mails tuition bills in the middle of June and the middle of November.)  A surcharge of 2.5% will be assessed for tuition payments made with a credit card.  The school will notify the parents of any student whose tuition account is in arrears.   A student will not be promoted to the next grade level, be allowed to graduate, or receive any transcripts until all indebtedness to the school has been satisfied. Withdrawal and Refund Policy If a student withdraws or is dismissed for any reason, the parents forfeit the registration fee. Report cards and transcripts of credits are retained until all tuition and fees are paid.
