NEW STUDENT REFERRAL PROGRAM 2015-2016 We are excited to announce our New Student Referral Program! Many of our families initially hear about St. Benedict at Auburndale through a personal referral from an existing school family. We want to express our appreciation to those who help in encouraging new families with similar values, commitment, and priorities to apply to SBA. Through our New Student Referral Program, families can receive a $100 tuition credit for every new family referred to SBA for the 2015-2016 academic school year. Here’s how it works: • • •
•
•
•
The New Student Referral Program is open to all parents or legal guardians* with students enrolled at St. Benedict at Auburndale High School. Tuition credit awards will be given for referring new families to the school. To qualify for the incentive: o Referred students cannot be a sibling of a student currently or previously enrolled in St. Benedict at Auburndale. o The referred student cannot have an application on file with the Office of Admissions. o Referrals must be acknowledged during the initial contact with the school. o New students must meet standard enrollment criteria, be admitted, and be enrolled in the school for at least 30 days. To receive tuition credit, the referring family must ensure that the prospective family submits the New Student Referral Form included in the New Student Application Packet or online at sbaeagles.org/admissions. Tuition credits will be applied to the referring family in October 2015 for students starting at the beginning of the 2015-2016 school year. Credits for students starting after October 2015 will be applied one month following the start date of the referred family. Families, who paid their tuition in full, making referrals, will receive an incentive check equal to the amount of the tuition credit.
The New Student Referral Program is subject to review and modification. Interpretation of program parameters will be at the discretion of the Principal. * SBA employees are not eligible to participate
