Tuition Assistance
All students deserve the opportunity to attend Holy Trinity Catholic School and receive a Catholic education. We understand that the financial obligation can be challenging for some households, and our goal is to make Catholic education accessible to as many families as possible. Please contact the Holy Trinity Bookkeeper to learn more about tuition, fees, and tuition assistance opportunities.
Catholic Tuition Organization
The Catholic Tuition Organization (CTO) was created in 2006 to provide tuition assistance to qualifying families attending Catholic schools. Criteria for receiving assistance are based on family size and income, and students must be at least five-years-old. Applications are due before July 31 each year, and families will be notified of their tuition assistance awards at the end of August.
Applications and instructions are available online beginning February 1. Paper applications are available at Holy Trinity in late January. There is a $29 fee per family for processing the application, and applicants must have their most current taxes completed.
Welcome Grant
New students in Grades 1 through 7 transferring to Holy Trinity Catholic School from public school may qualify for a $1500 credit towards tuition over two years. We apply $1000 to the transfer student’s first year at Holy Trinity and $500 to the second year. This grant cannot be combined with CTO funds.
Referral Grant
Households currently enrolled at Holy Trinity Catholic School are encouraged to refer new students. A successful referral results in $500 credit toward tuition. Refer a friend and earn some savings on your own tuition!
Become Catholic and Join Holy Trinity Parish
Active parishioners pay a lower annual tuition rate than out-of-parish households. Complete our RCIA program to qualify for the in-parish tuition rate. Contact the parish office at 515-255-3162 ext. 128 for more RCIA information.
Registration and Other Fees for 2022/2023
Holy Trinity will issue a FACTS Tuition Agreement to collect tuition, registration fees, technology fees, homeroom fees, and sacramental fees. The deposit fee will need to be paid before the issuance of a FACTS Agreement. The deposit can be paid by cash, check, or PayPal.
Registration Fee
Registration fees are non-refundable. Households with more than one student enrolled in Kindergarten through Grade 8 will pay the $225 registration fee for one student, plus $100 per additional student.

Tuition Rates for 2022/2023
Members of a Catholic parish without a school receive the in-parish tuition rate.
The Holy Trinity Pre-Kindergarten Program (PK4) participates in the Statewide Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten Program and Universal Pre-Kindergarten Grant which provides free tuition to four-year-old Pre-K students during the academic portion of their day. This component of tuition for the PK4 program will be covered at 100 percent for the 2022/2023 school year.
