The total SKPS fundraising goal for 2020 - 2021 is $425,000. We are always humble when requesting such generous financial support from the families of SKPS and truly appreciate your past support.  We thank you for your ongoing efforts to participate in school activities helping to make our school the best it can be for you and your children.

As is the case with all schools operating within the Diocese of Pittsburgh, tuition covers only a portion of a school's operating budget. The rest of the operating budget comes from a funding model determined by the Diocese: 
60% - Tuition and Fees | 25% - Parish Subsidy | 10% - Fundraising | 5% - Other Sources

Per Child Breakdown

Families will be invoiced for the 2020-21 school year via the parent portal in June, 2020 for the following:

• Tuition - which now includes the gift card goal with applicable credits applied for rebates earned and calculated for May 1, 2020 through April 30, 2021. Payment terms are based on 10 monthly installments or single payment term with a 2% discount.
• Kilian Credit - $300 per family for grades K-8 OR $100 per family for preschool only families. 
• Single Payment Discount Bonus - The entire tuition invoice can receive the single payment discount of 2%. Families choosing the single payment option, will receive a check of their rebate total amount at the end of the 2021-22 school year.   

Gift Card Tuition Rebates
SKPS offers a program through which your family can earn tuition rebates based on gift card purchases. By purchasing gift cards through school or through the online Scrip program, SKPS receives rebates that may be directly applied to a family's tuition. The percentage listed on the gift card order form for each vendor is used to calculate the rebate you can earn towards your family's tuition.  Click here for full details regarding the program.

100% of all rebates earned beginning May 1, 2020, through April 30, 2021 will be applied toward your current 2020-2021 tuition invoice on a monthly bases.  If you purchase gift cards between May 1, 2020 - June 3, 2020, your yearly tuition total for the 2021-2022 school year will be reduced by that rebate amount.  Each month's Script rebates will be applied as a credit to the followinhg month’s invoice.  

* Please note gift card rebates must be designated to a family at the time of purchase and are not transferable or refundable under any circumstances.

Kilian Credit
Saint Kilian Parish School has established a Kilian Credit program for fundraising. Families with students in grades K – 8, paying the Catholic rate, are billed $300 per family. All families with only preschool students are billed $100 per family. During the year, certain Saint Kilian fundraising events will be announced as Kilian Credit eligible. SKPS families may then purchase admission to these eligible events using their Kilian Credit (not to exceed the value of what you were invoiced.)

• These credits are not redeemable for anything other than admission to these events.
• There is no prepayment discount for the Kilian Credit as there is with tuition.
• Kilian Credit is valid for events through June 30 of the current school year.
• Any unused amount is forfeited and cannot be rolled over. 
• You will be provided with tax documentation for any unused amount of your Kilian credit (501(c)(3) charitable donation).

During the school year, the value of your Kilian Credit is the total you pay ($100 preschool or $300 K-8th grade), less any admissions you purchase attending a sponsored event using your credit. Should the admission price be higher than your Kilian Credit balance, you will be invoiced the difference or will have the opportunity to pay via credit card at the time of the event registration.

*SKPS periodically communicates your remaining balance during the school year.
