WHAT DO I RECEIVE FOR MY FEES AND CHARGES?

The Chromebook comes pre-loaded with all necessary software and includes a charger and protective case as well as insurance coverage against the cost of repairs. All students have access to 24/7 white-glove hardware and software assistance provided by our onsite Google certified EdTech Specialist. The Chromebook belongs to the student.  
 
Educational Resource Fee: This is used to supply your student with all of the in-class educational resources that he needs to succeed including access to online textbooks, workbooks and paperbacks, online learning modules as well as art supplies. All freshmen and transfer students will also receive a calculator.

Yes. St. Joseph Regional High School provides a limited amount of financial assistance to students who demonstrate serious financial need. Such grants are offered in the form of tuition discounts and do not require repayment. Families may apply online by visiting SJR’s FACTS Information Page under the Admissions tab (for incoming freshman applicants, this application opens in late August/early September).

Saint Joseph Regional High School offers academic scholarships to top incoming freshmen. These scholarships are in the form of partial tuition awards. 

 

The Admissions Committee considers middle school grades, standardized test scores (HSPT, COOP, etc...) and comments about a student’s school conduct and effort in determining academic scholarships. All academic scholarships are renewable from year to year, provided the student continues to achieve superior grades and demonstrates exemplary conduct at St. Joseph Regional.

Special scholarship applications are available annually to incoming freshmen who meet eligibility requirements. The scholarship opportunities listed below are awarded on the basis of both need and merit. Academic records and test scores, letters of recommendation and other material from the student’s application assist in identifying students whose accomplishments warrant consideration for these scholarships.
