TUITION:  The Diocese of Peoria requires all of their schools to use a tuition collection service to process tuition and fee payments.  Alleman has chosen FACTS Management Company for this purpose.

We will offer full pay or monthly payment options.  Payments can be set up for automatic deduction from a bank account or a credit/debit card, or you can receive a monthly invoice through FACTS.  We encourage families to use the automatic payment feature.  Mailing payments or dropping off cash/checks here at the school is still an option.  Regardless of how you plan on making tuition payments, all families are required to choose a plan through FACTS.   

If the tuition cannot be paid in accordance with the schedule, the parent/guardian is responsible for contacting the Business Office to make alternate arrangements. The school reserves the right to hold official transcripts, grades, and records of students whose family has not complied with the payment schedule, has not made a good faith attempt, or have not cooperated with the school in financial matters. In such circumstances, an unofficial transcript will be sent to the requesting school or organization. Continued no-payment may lead to discontinuance from school.

Any family with an un-reconciled account from the preceding year will not be allowed to return for the following school year unless their parent/guardian contacts the business manager for a confidential discussion and a plan for resolution of their situation. Pending agreed upon resolution, the student will be allowed to return to school through an alternative payment schedule that consolidates prior and current year’s tuition commitments. Parents who enter or withdraw a student during the school year will be billed or refunded tuition on a pro rata basis. (Policy B-100.0.1)

EDUCATION TAX CREDIT — In the year 2000, the State of Illinois first offered an Illinois Education Tax Credit to parents with children in grades K - 12 who spend more than $250 a year on tuition, book and lab fees. Parents may claim 25% of the balance up to $750 per family per year. Eligible expenses are for the calendar year (not school year). The tax credit is directly applied to the parent’s state tax liability.

TUITION ASSISTANCE
A limited amount of tuition assistance is available to Alleman families. Tuition assistance is based on financial need. Grants are determined by information obtained from parents through the assistance application process. FACTS, a private processing company, makes recommendations to Alleman regarding the distribution of available tuition-assistance funds. These funds are raised by the Alleman Development Office throughout the school year. Tuition Assistance application forms are available in the Main Office at Alleman. The forms must be returned according to the published deadlines. The family is responsible for the FACTS application fee. Forms must be filled out annually. Failure to meet the application deadline may significantly reduce your opportunity to receive financial assistance. All tuition assistance is granted in compliance with the IHSA Constitution (1.250) and By-laws (3.072).

TRANSCRIPT OF CREDIT
Official transcripts of credits earned or in progress, are not released until all outstanding bills have been paid. Alleman students receive three (3) free transcripts to schools of their choice. There is a $2 fee for each additional transcript. (See STUDENT RECORDS)
