It is the final payment to be made by the Tuilaepa Sa'ilele Maleilegaoi led government before the general election which is now a month away.
The Catholic and the Congregational Christian Church schools have topped the list, receiving more than half a million dollars with the Methodist church schools getting just over $US 250,000.
Several schools which are usually recipients of the government assistance each year have been told they need to complete financial reports before the government will pay out.
