How to Apply
Applying is easy using our Online Application. We encourage families to apply online as it simplifies submission and provides parents with an online tool for tracking the status of their admission after their application has been submitted. A non-refundable fee of $150 per student (maximum $275 per family) must be submitted to the school office with each application and must be received by April 29, 2022. After this date, the application fee is $200 (maximum $400 per family).
Create an Online Application
To begin the Online Application process, Create an Account. Then log in to your account and Create A New Student Application for each child in your family. You will then have the flexibility to log in and out of your account and access your open application.
After submitting the application, you will be able to track your admissions status at the school by logging in to your account HERE. From your account, you will be able to print the completed applications, monitor when the school receives supplemental application forms and, if necessary, reprint the supplemental forms.

What is Tuition Assistance?
Tuition Assistance is a financial award applied to tuition and is based on financial need.
What is the amount of Tuition Assistance awarded?
This school year, the CSGK distributed more than $394,000 to over 36% of our school families. The total amount of tuition assistance provided each year is based on availability of funds and the number of qualified applicants who apply.
How do families apply?
Families complete the tuition assistance application form and submit by the early enrollment deadline, which is April 29, 2022, to the CSGK Business Office. The application fee needs to be paid to apply for tuition assistance.
Where do the funds for Tuition Assistance come from?
Tuition assistance is available from the following donations and endowed funds:
How is tuition assistance determined?
The amount awarded is based on family’s income level, family size, number of students in Catholic schools, monthly income and expenses, assets and liabilities, and any special circumstances.
Do I have to complete separate tuition assistance applications for my children if they attend different Catholic schools?
No, you submit one tuition assistance application per family. You list each student and the school they attend on one application.
Does the application need to be submitted electronically or in person?
Either way is acceptable.
When will I know if I qualified for any tuition assistance?
You will receive notification in late June/early July of your determination and amount of tuition assistance.
Will I receive my full request?
CSGK cannot guarantee that 100% of each request will be granted, however, we will do our best to meet each family's need. Please note that late applications cannot be guaranteed.
Is my information kept confidential?
Yes. All financial information is kept confidential and is only reviewed by the CSGK Business Office.
When is the first tuition payment due?
The first payment is based on the payment plan selected in the tuition contract and due dates are:
Pay-in-full Due August 1
ACH Due August 10 or 20
Monthly Due August 1
Can I volunteer and receive credit for tuition?
We do not have a volunteer program set up for tuition credits. We appreciate our volunteers and ask for help with school events, clubs, extracurricular events, and sports teams. This allows the fundraising dollars to go to these groups to help cover the costs of their programs. However, you can participate in CSGK’s TRIP program and the money earned is applied to your tuition account.
Who do I contact if I have other questions regarding tuition and assistance?
Please contact Melissa Anderegg, CSGK Business Manager, at 269-381-2646, ext. 119 or manderegg@csgk.org or Michele Buchmann, CSGK Business Administrator at 269-381-2646, ext.106 or mbuchmann@csgk.org.
