Tuition Assistance

Assistance will be given to families who graduate from, are currently participating in, or commit to enrolling in Financial Peace University.

Tuition Refund Policy
After a student has been in attendance for ten academic days during the school year, full tuition and all other fees are non-refundable. If the student withdraws or is otherwise dismissed, all payments shall be retained by St. Mark and further, the remaining balance of tuition and all other fees shall be immediately due and payable.

Tuition Insurance
Sometimes situations arise which require the student to withdraw from school during the academic year. Since payment for tuition is unconditional, it is in the best interest of parents/guardians to seek some form of tuition relief should one of these situations arise. Tuition insurance provides a means to recover a percentage of the fees paid for unused services if a student withdraws after the first ten days of class. This insurance policy is provided by a third party and required to be purchased unless the one payment plan option is selected.
