Family Referral

Would You Like to Receive a $1,000 Tuition Credit?

 
Parents are the best promoters of Catholic education, and we want to thank you for recommending the School of St. Mary to your family and friends. Through our New Family Referral Program, you may receive a $1,000 tuition credit for each new family you refer that enrolls a full-time student (see Rule 3 below), is officially admitted to our school, and meets all of the admission requirements and the rules and regulations listed below.
 

How the Program Works

Parents or guardians will receive $1,000 in tuition credit for each new family they formally refer to the School of St. Mary that we accept under our current admission requirements. We apply the credit to the referring family’s account after the new student successfully completes one semester. All referrals must follow the New Family Referral Program’s rules and regulations.
 

Who Is Eligible to Participate?

All current parents, guardians, teachers, and staff members who pay tuition at the School of St. Mary are eligible. We greatly appreciate referrals of new families who enroll part-time students, but those referrals are not eligible for the incentive.
 

Rules and Regulations

  1. You must submit a completed New Family Referral Form for each new family you refer before the new family formally applies for admission. We make no exceptions to this requirement, and we do not accept retroactive referrals.
  2. The referred family cannot already be in our database from a previous enrollment inquiry, have children who previously enrolled, or currently have siblings at the School of St. Mary.
  3. The new family must enroll a full-time student in kindergarten through eighth grade.
  4. The new family must meet our regular enrollment criteria. Our principal makes the final decision on family acceptance.
  5. The new student must enroll and successfully complete one semester before the referring family receives the tuition credit.
  6. If a new student begins attending after the academic year has started, we prorate the credit according to the student’s first day of attendance.
  7. There is no limit to the number of families you may refer; however, your total tuition credits may not exceed your current tuition requirement in a given school year.
  8. If more than one family refers a student, we divide the credit equally among the referring families.
  9. The School of St. Mary retains the right to reevaluate, revise, or cancel this program at any time.
