Saint John the Baptist Catholic Elementary is committed to offering a complete education to families throughout our community. In keeping with our mission, families who do not have the means to pay our full tuition rates may apply for tuition assistance/financial aid. In fact, more than 40% of our students/families receive assistance in the form of need-based tuition adjustments.
How to qualify for Financial Aid
Families may apply for Tuition Assistance/Financial Aid online through FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment (FGAA). The FGAA analysis determines the recommended parental contribution for education.

How are tuition & fees determined?
The Diocese of Salt Lake City in cooperation with the Diocesan School Board and the respective school administration and school board determines the fees and tuition each year. Annual increases are to be expected.
