Scholarships
In
1995, Duchesne established two automatic awards for incoming freshmen who
have demonstrated high levels of academic achievement and school
citizenship. The
President's Scholarship is an $800 award and the
Dean's
Scholarship is a $500 award. To be eligible for either award, the student
must list Duchesne High School as his/her first choice.
Other
scholarships are available to incoming freshmen from Duchesne's seven feeder parishes and the Academy of the Sacred Heart and
are awarded on the basis of talent and ability. For more
information about any of those scholarships, contact Jennifer Flores,
recruitment director, at (636) 946-2603.
Financial
Aid
Duchesne
awarded more than $60,000 in financial assistance last year. The Financial
Aid Committee meets in the spring to consider applicants for these
need-based grants. Applications for financial assistance are due by April
1.
Discounts
Automatic
discounts are applied to the tuition totals of families with more than one
child at Duchesne. There is a discount of $500 for the second child in a
family. Tuition is completely waived for a third child. All students must
pay the $250 registration fee. The child of a
teacher at a Catholic school in the Archdiocese of St. Louis qualifies for
an additional $500 discount to attend Duchesne.
Work
Study
Duchesne
also offers a Work Study Program, where students work with the school
staff during the summer. Students are paid
for their work and their tax-free wages are applied directly toward
tuition. Applications for Work Study
are available in the school office.
FACTS Program
To make
payment of tuition easier, Duchesne uses the FACTS Tuition Management Program,
which provides payment options of quarterly or 10 monthly tuition
installments.
