TUITION REFUND POLICY

Tuition refunds may be offered based on the schedule below. Students and families are expected to make a good faith effort, in collaboration with the school’s administration, to resolve difficulties and attempt to complete their contract before any refund will be considered.

1. The withdrawal of a new student before July 20 will result in forfeiture of both the registration fee and the tuition deposit. For returningstudents, the registration fee is not refundable. 

2. The withdrawal of a student, after July 20 and before the school year commences will result in the forfeiture of the equivalent of 10% of the total tuition and fees for that year.

3. The withdrawal of a student once the school year commences, but within the first semester, will result in the forfeiture of the equivalent of 10% of the total tuition and fees for that year for each month enrolled beginning with July. Once the second semester has begun; no refunds are made at any time.

Non-refunded tuition is used to pay for unused educational services that were reserved for the enrolled students. The rationale behind this policy is as follows: Faculty and staff invest a significant amount of time and resources to prepare schedules, services, and resources for the upcoming school year months before your child walks through our doors on the first day of school. Also, the Finance Committee must make budget and staffing decisions early in the winter, based on the projected number of families expected to attend Bishop Guertin for the following academic year. In addition, the school loses the opportunity to place another family in that spot. Once class lists are filled in the early spring, families unable to obtain admission at Bishop Guertin find it necessary to make alternate arrangements for their child.

DELINQUENT TUITION AND FEES

Special Circumstances for Tuition Payment: 

• In a case where parents have separate homes, Bishop Guertin asks one parent to be responsible for the tuition payment.

• Outstanding fees not collected by the last day of school may be submitted to a collection agency by June 30.

• The school reserves the right to ask a parent to withdraw his/her child if the tuition fee or other fees are not paid on time.

•  

Parent Responsibility for Fees:

It is the parent’s responsibility to advise the Business Office if there are any problems with maintaining payment of fees on time. Failure to pay fees or tuition in a timely manner can result in:

1. the refusal to permit a child to re-register for the following year. No student may be considered for re-enrollment or financial assistance for succeeding academic years unless the account is considered current.

2. a child’s immediate dismissal from school. If any payment is delinquent for 60 days following the due date, the student may be excluded from school attendance and activities.

TRANSFERS

Parents of students transferring from Bishop Guertin must notify the School Counseling Office of the date of the child’s withdrawal from school and the name of the school to which his/her educational records are to be sent. All financial obligations to Bishop Guertin must be met before records will be transferred to another school. Parents must sign a release form prior to records being forwarded to the new school.

Consistent with the Mission of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart, financial assistance at Bishop Guertin is awarded solely on the basis of need. Scholarships, grants, and financial assistance are available for those who qualify. We promise to work with you to find the right financing solution for your family.

To ensure that awards are unbiased, BG uses an outside, third-party assessor, FACTS Grant & Aid (G&A). Families applying for financial aid will need to complete an application and submit the necessary supporting documentation to FACTS each year. Whether you are a new or returning family, you may start applying for assistance on November 1.

Through the state’s Educational Freedom Account (EFA) program, New Hampshire families may receive funding that equates to the state’s “adequate education” rate, approximately $4,100 per student, with some eligible for more based on individual circumstances. These funds may be applied to tuition at a private school such as Bishop Guertin. They may also be applied to textbooks, online instructional materials, computer hardware, summer programs, AP exams, and other educational costs.

This process is between the state of New Hampshire and the family and does not affect BG financial-aid decisions as these are independent of one another.

Thanks to the generosity of our alumni and friends, Bishop Guertin is able to provide a number of scholarships for students enrolled at the school. Students are highly encouraged to apply for these scholarships when the applications become available during the school year. 

Independent of BG, the Children’s Scholarship Fund provides scholarships averaging more than $5,000 per student for low-income New Hampshire children.
