To be considered for admission to St. Joe's, prospective freshmen for Fall 2017 must do the following:
• Complete an Application • Sit for the Scholarship & Entrance Exam Admission Admission to St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute is open to young men whose middle school record exhibits positive citizenship in an academic community and an ability to succeed in a rigorous college preparatory curriculum. Students must also achieve a satisfactorily competitive score on the school's entrance exam. St. Joe's operates under a rolling Admissions Policy, meaning we evaluate applicants throughout the year. Application In order to gain admission to St. Joe's, students must complete an application for admission, sit for the Scholarship & Entrance Exam and supply academic transcripts from grades 6, 7 and 8. Tuition Support A St. Joe's education is available to all socio-economic backgrounds due to our expansive tuition assistance. Over 80% of the class of 2020 will receive tuition support through merit-based Academic Scholarships, a need-based Tuition Assistance Program, and a Supplementary Work Program. Thanks to the generosity of our alumni and benefactors, St. Joe's enjoys a growing endowment, and our mission is to extend the St. Joe's experience to all who qualify academically. During the 2016-17 school year, St. Joe's will allocate $2.7 million in Tuition Support. Academic Scholarships St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute offers academic scholarship awards to qualified incoming freshmen who demonstrate outstanding academic achievement and potential. Financial need is not a factor in determining scholarship eligibility. Of primary consideration in selecting a student to receive an academic scholarship is his score on the Scholarship and Entrance Examination given prior to his acceptance into St. Joe's. Additional criteria in determining such awards include a review of the student's transcript from grades 6, 7, and 8. Tuition Assistance Families may apply for financial aid in the fall of the year prior to attendance. If a family qualifies for aid, notice will be sent at the same time an acceptance packet is mailed to the student, providing a full financial picture at the time of acceptance. Application must be made each year to maintain eligibility as awards do not automatically renew. Tuition grants which result in a direct reduction of tuition expenses vary in size and are awarded to selected families based on financial need. Supplementary Work Program St. Joe's also sponsors a work program designed to assist students who reduce the cost of tuition by working at St. Joe's. While the program is not need-based and open to all students, it is normal for a financial aid award to include both a direct grant and an amount to be earned through the work program. Students earn tuition credits by working before and after school and during holidays, weekends, and vacations. As of July 1st, 2016, the hourly rate is $8/hour. It is reasonable for boys to work as many as 200 hours over 12 months (July-June) without sacrificing their school work, extra-curriculars, or family responsibility. |
