Did you know that as of 2018 families can use their 529 savings plans to pay for private K-12 education without penalty? Contact your 529 plan advisor for details.
The Tax Cuts and Job Act of 2017 includes a new provision for families who pay private school tuition. The 529 plan, which is an educational savings plan parents contribute to with after-tax dollars (allowing your money to grow free of any capital gains taxes when used for higher education expenses), has been expanded. Under the new tax bill, families will be able to withdraw $10,000 each year (per child) to pay for private or religious K-12 tuition. We encourage our families to discuss the 529 plan strategy with your tax professional to see if there is a tax benefit for you.
-
How were the qualification criteria determined?The donating family set the qualification criteria. The continuance of Catholic education is of the upmost importance to the donor family and their desire is to encourage families to continue to choose Catholic education from elementary through secondary education by helping assist with the cost of tuition.
-
I hope to attend OCA next year. Do I qualify for CCE tuition?If you an incoming student, you must have attended an accredited Catholic school consecutively since the start of 5th grade.
-
Will OCA still offer financial aid?Yes. Based on financial need, OCA will still set aside financial aid dollars for both families that leverage the CCE Tuition and the Full Tuition rates.
-
If I receive financial aid to attend OCA, and qualify for the CEE tuition tier, will I receive both?"Yes. The CCE Tuition rate is automatically applied for all that qualify. If you qualify for additional financial aid, it will be applied starting at the CCE Tuition rate to further reduce your cost to attend OCA.
-
Do I need to fill out a financial aid application to receive the CCE tuition rate?The CCE Tuition rate is considered a tuition rate, not financial aid. The CCE Tuition rate is solely dependent on where the student has attended school.
-
My child attended a Catholic School K-8 and then went to public school for 9th grade. Do they qualify for the CCE tuition rate?The student would be charged the Full Tuition rate. The CCE qualifying criteria require that the student go to an accredited Catholic school consecutively since the start of 5th grade.
-
My oldest child currently attends public high school and my youngest child attends a Catholic School. Will my youngest child qualify for the CCE tuition rate?Possibly. Qualifications for the CCE Tuition rate are student based. As long as the youngest child has attended an accredited Catholic school since the start of 5th grade, they will be entitled to the CCE Tuition rate.
