Tuition

Creighton Prep's mission is to form young men of faith, scholarship, leadership and service in the Catholic and Jesuit tradition and to provide them with the very best college prep experience. We want to make this formative experience available to any family who wants that for their son.

The goal of Income-Based Tuition is to keep Creighton Prep accessible and affordable for anyone who wants a Catholic and Jesuit education. Please reference the Income-Based Tuition scale below to determine your maximum tuition and follow the steps to submit an application.

Income figures must be supported by tax documents for the most recent year filed. We consider the following to be included in gross family income: salaries, investment income, self-employment income, social security or disability, rental income, housing allowance or assistance, income or cash distributions from LLC's, S Corporations or partnerships, retirement plan or pension distributions, child support and other income, including nontaxable income. Income will be considered prior to deductions for retirement and Health Savings Account contributions. Families with business income may be required to provide business financials in order to gain a better understanding of actual income earned from the business. Adjustments to gross income may be made for certain deductions reported on your tax return, such as depreciation / Section 179 bonus depreciation expense, vehicle expense, home office expense, etc. Prep reserves the right to consider your future earnings potential in contrast to your most recently filed income tax return. Prep also reserves the right to consider significant liquid assets that could be drawn from to make tuition payments in excess of the amounts shown above.

When a student's parents are separated, Prep considers the financial resources of all living parents and step-parents, and any other adults living in the household in which the student resides. Tuition contracts may be arranged in a joint or separate manner, according to the family's preference. Tuition does not include school fees.

From there, you will work with our Business Office to create a tuition plan that works for your family. Our business office may follow up with you to examine a short history (up to three years) of your past earnings and determine a reasonable range of expected earnings on a forward-looking basis in order to arrive at an appropriate tuition adjustment for your specific circumstances.
