Step 3: Payment Process

To help alleviate some of the financial worries that plague all non-profits, we instituted an automatic debit process that began with the Fall 2018 semester. When you register for classes and get your card on file for automatic monthly payments, the membership fee covers the processing fees. 

Registration also gives the option of paying with a checking account which is a more beneficial choice for STARS because we will not lose money from debit card transaction fees. there is only a one-time fee of $1.30 to start your banking account reoccurring payments.

Due to the difficulty in tracking cash payments, STARS will no longer accept cash payments for tuition bills. We apologize for any inconvenience.

The STARS Foundation is a non-profit organization. As such, the Foundation is funded by grants and the donations of those in our communities who are moved to support and give to this wonderful program. In order for STARS to continue providing these services, students who do not comply with payment policies will be excused from the program. 

Scholarships are awarded based on availability. If you are interested; please turn in this form for review and the Board will inform you if you are eligible.
