Tuition & Financial Aid

Across the Diocese of Allentown, Catholic schools work to offer excellent education at surprisingly low tuition rates with generous scholarship opportunities. Saint John Neumann Regional School shares this commitment by partnering with families to make Catholic education accessible. 

Flexible & Mission‑Driven Tuition at St. John Neumann Regional School

Individualized Tuition at St. John Neumann Regional School is a mission‑driven approach designed to make a Christ‑centered Catholic education accessible to families throughout Palmerton, Slatington, and the surrounding communities. Just as St. John Neumann Regional School is committed to nurturing the unique academic, spiritual, and personal growth of every child, our approach to tuition recognizes that each family’s financial circumstances are different. In partnership with our families—and with the support of tuition assistance and scholarship opportunities—we strive to remove financial barriers and ensure that every family who desires a St. John Neumann education can pursue it. This commitment reflects our Catholic values and strengthens our school community by welcoming families from across the region who share our Gospel-centered mission and dedication to educational excellence.

Making Catholic education affordable

To assist families, SJNRS may offer:

  • Diocesan and local scholarships

  • Eastern Pennsylvania scholarship programs

  • Memorial and private scholarships

  • Additional financial assistance based on need

  • BLOCS Scholarships
    Through our partnership with BLOCS (Business Leadership Organized for Catholic Schools), families who qualify under Pennsylvania’s EITC/OSTC guidelines may receive need-based tuition assistance. BLOCS is the largest scholarship organization in Pennsylvania, providing thousands of scholarships each year so more children can access a quality, values-based Catholic education.

Families are encouraged to apply even if they are unsure whether they will qualify.
