Let Ohio Catholic help you plan and pay for a Catholic education.  One of Ohio Catholic’s goals is to promote Catholic education by providing a variety of programs and services that will directly support the choice of a Catholic education.  The Tuition Saver Account pays a higher interest rate than a standard savings account and matches deposits for special Catholic Milestone Events.

How the Tuition Saver Program Works

• Account is opened as a joint account with child as the primary account holder and parent as the secondary account holder or as a custodial account
• Primary account holder must be under the age of 18 to open a Tuition Saver Account
• A $25 initial deposit is required to open account
• Dividend rate is paid monthly on average daily balance of $25 or more
• Matching deposit funds up to $20  for the first deposit made to the account with a Sacramental certificate are available within the first 60 days* after the child receives any of the following Sacraments:  
  • Baptism
  • First Communion
  • Confirmation
    * Ohio Catholic will have opportunities throughout the year where the conditional 60-day period is waived.
• A hold equal to the amount of any matching deposit funds will be placed on the account until a qualifying withdrawal is made
• Withdrawals may be made at any time for a qualified distribution
  • Qualified Distributions are the following:
    • Check made payable to a Catholic Grade School or High School
    • Check made payable to a College, University or Trade School
• Matching deposit funds will be forfeited if all or any portion of the funds are withdrawn for any non-qualified distribution
• Any account that is closed within 180 days will incur the standard account closure fee
• Transfers may be made at any time to an Ohio Catholic Share Certificate Account without penalties or forfeiture of rewards

Smart Money Tip – Remind relatives for Christmas, Birthdays, and Special Catholic Milestone Events, that they can help provide a quality Catholic education for the child they love by contributing to the child’s Tuition Saver Account at any Ohio Catholic branch.
