   1. withhold diplomas until tuition is paid in full.
   2. refuse readmission to any student.
8. At FMH we are committed to ending each fiscal year with a balanced budget. Part of the projected budget may be based on donations which we cannot control. If a deficit occurs at the end of the school year, there may be an additional assessment in June.
9. To assist families with school costs, tuition assistance is made available to families demonstrating financial need.
   1. FMH participates in Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC) via Faith Builders Scholarship Services. This program allows certain businesses to channel their tax money to participating organizations of their choice. Patrons living in low-achieving school districts may qualify for additional (OSTC) funds.
      • In the 23-24 school year, 43 of 72 patron families applied and received an average of $5,783. These families received FB-EITC scholarships that discounted 20%-80% of their tuition costs, and some families paid less than $2,000 per child in tuition.
      • For more information, please visit the Faith Builders website or contact the school office. Interested patrons need to apply before November 1st of each year.

Families who demonstrate financial need beyond their awarded EITC funds and Tuition Scholarships may qualify for Student Aid assistance. Patrons interested in a Student Aid application or additional information may contact the school office.
