Tuition & Assistance
Through the support of alumni, parents and friends, CJ is able to offer scholarships and tuition assistance that can greatly reduce the cost of a student’s CJ experience. CJ and its partners awarded $1.8 million in scholarships and tuition assistance for the 2010-11 school year to nearly 70% of all students. After tuition assistance and scholarships, the average tuition paid by a parent during the 2010-2011 school year was $5,715.

Catholic Leadership and Heritage Scholarships
Renewable Catholic Scholarships
CJ actively supports outstanding students and their families who invest in Catholic education. The Catholic Leadership and Heritage Scholarships are awarded to exceptional students who are members of a Catholic parish. Young men and women who demonstrate academic success, leadership and service experiences, and commitment to their faith will be considered. To be eligible, students must take the High School Placement Test (HSPT) and submit the admissions application by December 1, 2011 (postmark). Some of these scholarships are renewable for all four years.
Tuition Payment Plans
CJ contracts with FACTS Tuition Management to handle the quarterly and monthly payment options. Payments may be withdrawn from a bank account or applied to a credit card. Full and semi-payments are paid directly to CJ. Families must select a method of payment at registration time:
- Annual payment due in mid-July
- Semi-annual payments due in July and December
- Quarterly payments due in July, October, January and April
- Ten monthly payments due July through April (finance entire amount at 6% interest)

2010–11 Tuition
$7,250 families registered as members of a Catholic parish

NOTE: For the 2010-11 school year, all families who applied for tuition assistance received aid. In many instances, the assistance received greatly reduced the cost of a student's CJ experience. Families who submit a PSAS form by December 1, 2011 will know how much assistance they will receive for the 2012-13 school year before they register in February.
