Student Fees

At Evanston Township High School, student fees help cover the cost of essential materials and services that support daily learning and school life. These fees are necessary because they help cover important programs, materials, and services not fully covered by state or federal funding.

Each year, the Board of Education reviews and approves the student fee structure to ensure it reflects the resources students need for a high-quality educational experience, while maintaining a commitment to equity and access.

Annual fees apply to all ETHS students, including those in off-campus placements, and must be paid in full.

2025-26 Student Fees

Registration Fee: $365 per student
Due by August, 2025

The registration fee supports essential instructional resources, classroom materials, technology access, library services, and the broad range of extracurricular opportunities—including athletics, clubs, and fine arts—that enrich the educational experience for all students. By consolidating these costs into one fee, we simplify billing while ensuring equitable access to programs and services that benefit the entire school community.

Financial Assistance 

Families who qualify for Financial Assistance are eligible for a reduced registration fee of $25 per student. We recognize that family situations vary, and no student will be denied access to their education because of financial hardship. Families must apply for Financial Assistance at the start of each school year. Late applications may result in partial fee reductions. Assistance will be prorated based on the remaining quarters in the school year.

For information on how to apply, visit visit the Financial Assistance page.
