 Indexed Tuition
St. Joseph's has an Indexed Tuition model to encourage diversity in its family and student population. We recognize that careers are significant in many ways beyond what the financial reward may be. So to provide equity for those who have chosen careers whose primary reward may not be financial, we have developed the St. Joseph's Indexed Tuition Program.
Families may qualify to have their tuition indexed to as little as $100.00/month.
