Expenses

There is no charge for Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) high school athletics. However, some sports incur costs for pregame meals, optional spirit wear and personal items.
There are some costs for optional overnight retreats, although grade-level retreats are covered.
The 1:1 Technology Program requires the purchase of a student laptop.
Bus transportation is available for many areas and bus passes are available at student rates.

Payment plans allow families to pay tuition over a period of up to 12 months without interest. EC also offers credit and debit card payments, but a processing charge applies to some payment methods.

Merit Awards & Tuition Assistance

Eastside Catholic is committed to making tuition affordable for students from all economic backgrounds through merit awards and need-based tuition assistance grants.

Merit Awards

Merit awards are available to all students applying for sixth and ninth grade regardless of financial need. Awards are granted to top scholars who demonstrate excellence, character and the qualities laid out in our mission and touchstones.

A completed application for admission must be received by the respective deadlines for Middle School and High School. Merit award applications are completed through the online application process. Merit awards are not offered for applications received after the initial application deadlines have passed.

Tuition Assistance

Tuition assistance grants are based on demonstrated financial need and are reductions in the amount of tuition paid by a parent or guardian.

To be considered for a tuition assistance grant, parents must complete an online application and provide information through the FACTS Tuition Assistance application. Eastside Catholic uses the FACTS application to process the information provided by applicant families and to keep parent information confidential.

Tuition assistance grants awarded to a student may vary from year to year during a student’s enrollment. An application to confirm level of need will be required for each year a student is enrolled. In most circumstances, grants will remain at a level reflecting a family’s demonstrated need.

For more information on tuition assistance or the application process, please contact Tuition and Admissions Administrator Marj Kerstetter at mkerstetter@eastsidecatholic.org or 425-295-3025.
