Additional Fees

The fees above cover the costs that come with any student attending Covington Latin School. While these are universal costs, we know that additional costs may occur as students participate in different activities at CLS. The following is an example of activities that may require additional fees:

• Athletic Teams
• Chromebook
• Clubs
• Drama
• Dual Credit
• Graduation/Senior Fees
• Food Expenses (breakfast, lunch, or after school snacks)

Financial wealth should not determine access to the best education, nor should it shape a learning community. We believe that no deserving student should be denied a Covington Latin education due to demonstrable financial need. The generosity of our alumni and parent donors enables us to offer tuition assistance to nearly one-half of CLS students, across a broad spectrum of financial circumstances.  

Early April is the priority deadline for new and continuing student tuition assistance applications, though they may be submitted as early as January.  May 1, is the priority deadline to accept financial aid and scholarships.  Scholarships and financial aid will not be guaranteed beyond May 1 each.  

To assess financial need, families are required to submit a FACTS Financial Aid Application. Tuition assistance is offered on a first-come, first-served basis, so we strongly encourage all families to apply as soon as possible. 

Dennis P. Whitehead Scholar Award
Incoming students who score in the 98th or 99th percentile on the CLS Entrance Exam are eligible for the Dennis P. Whitehead Scholar Award, a one-time $800 scholarship.

Academic Scholarships for Continuing Students
Continuing students can earn academic scholarships, which are presented at the Fall Honors Assembly. Six scholarships are awarded in each grade level, thanks to the generous contributions from our business partners, alumni, and friends.

Sibling Tuition Credit
Families with multiple students at Covington Latin can benefit from a sibling tuition credit of $1,000 for each additional sibling enrolled.

Scholarship Eligibility & Application
Both incoming and current students can apply for scholarships, which will be awarded at the Fall Honors Assembly. These scholarships are funded by the generosity of our business partners, alumni, and friends, who align with the mission of our founder, Bishop Howard. His vision was never to turn away a deserving student, and our stakeholders continue to support this mission wholeheartedly.
To be considered, students must have a verified FACTS application and submit their scholarship essay through the link below.

The deadline for applications is March 15, 2026.

Covington Latin School is partnered with the FACTS Payment Program to manage our tuition payments for the school year.  Our research indicates significant benefits to school staff and school families, including convenience, flexibility, and secure online access to individual account information.

To get started, all NEW families must log in and sign up online.  Payment options include:

• Payment in full by the first day of class. No fee assessed.
• Semi-Annual Payments due August and January on the 5th or 20th; $10 annual fee assessed.
• Quarterly Payments due August, October, January and March on the 5th or 20th; $35 annual fee assessed.
• Monthly Payments due July – March on the 5th or 20th; $45 annual fee assessed.

Automatic payments can be made with:

• Automatic Bank Payment (ACH) – ACH payments are those payments you have authorized FACTS to process directly through your financial institution.  It is simply a bank-to-bank transfer of funds that you have pre-approved from either your checking or savings account.
• Credit Card – If you elect to use this option, your payment, along with a 2.75% convenience fee, will be automatically charged to your credit card (AMEX, MasterCard, or Discover are accepted).  Paying with your credit card allows you to take advantage of various bonus programs offered by your credit card company.

Invoicing and Check payments to FACTS are also available.  You decide and sign up for the options you prefer.

With FACTS, the school maintains decision-making control.  As always, we will continue to work with families should special circumstances or “hardship” cases arise during the school year.  Contact the school to avoid fees should you have any special needs.

FACTS online payment portal provides access to our own site for enrolling in FACTS for tuition payments.  Enrolling online is simple and secure.

1. Go to:  https://online.factsmgt.com/signup

All families will begin by clicking Get Started under the New User option.  Be sure to have your banking information ready.  Before you click the Submit button, please carefully read the Final Review.  Notification confirming your enrollment in a FACTS payment plan online will be sent to you after you submit your agreement.

Enrollment in the FACTS Program is mandatory.  Registration at CLS is not complete until this takes place.

If you have questions, you may contact FACTS at 888-470-6008 or the school office at 859-291-7044.

All students must have their own Chromebook at CLS.  You have the option to purchase this through CLS or to buy a Chromebook on your own and pay the one-time license fee. 

The Chromebook sold through the school is the Samsung Chromebook 4 with a 32GB hard drive.  The one-time cost for the device is $420, or you can choose to make yearly payments of $125 for four years.  This cost includes the Chromebook, management software, protective case, content filter, Google Apps for Education, and insurance for the first four years that you are in school at CLS. Purchased computers will be handed out during orientation.

If you choose to buy your own device, the $75 license fee includes the management software, Google Apps for Education, and the content filter and is due at the start of school; students bringing in a purchased computer will drop them off during orientation, and it will be returned the next day.
