Tuition and Financial Aid

Tuition

Below you will find the educational fee and the Tuition scale for Kindergarten- grade 5 for the 2022-2023 school year at St. Mel’s Catholic Academy. There is no tuition for our Pre-3 and Pre-K programs as they are funded through NYC Department of Education PreK for All. For the 22-23 school year, we will continue to use the FACTS tuition management system.

For Catholic tuition rates, you must be registered at St. Mel’s Parish. Your family should worship regularly and contribute at least $6.00 to the weekly collection by way of your envelope. If you need to register with St. Mel’s parish you can contact the rectory at 718-886-0201.

Tuition is also formulated based on the expected participation of St. Mel’s fundraising. We have three mandatory fundraising campaigns per academic year: Fall Catalog Sale, World’s Finest Chocolate sale, and Walk-a-Thon. Families are required to sell/raise $65 per student for each of the three required fundraising campaigns. If you choose to opt out of the fundraising commitment, a $550.00 fee per family for the year will be added onto your annual tuition.

For more information on tuition payment schedules, online payments, and delinquency consequences, please read our complete tuition plan for 2022-23.
