If a student withdraws during the school year, tuition will be prorated by taking the number of weeks the student attended school, adding four weeks and then dividing the total by the number of weeks in the school year.

Student Fundraising

The cost of educating each Carmel student this year will be $10,115.00, while the tuition and registration fee charged is $9,250.00.  Each student is, in effect, receiving $865.00 in financial assistance.  Rather than charge the full cost of educating the student, Carmel asks that students participate in two fundraisers each year, the Street Scenes Ad Drive and Walkathon.  The remainder of the difference between the cost of educating each student and the amount paid in tuition is made up of contributions from alumni and families to the Annual Fund and auxiliary services the school operates during the year. Because everyone benefits from the money raised in the fundraisers, everyone is expected to participate.  Both the Ad Drive and Walkathon fundraisers are mandatory.  Students who do not fulfill their quotas of $150.00 for the Ad Drive and $75.00 for the Walkathon will be required to pay the quotas on their tuition account.

Parental Volunteerism

Carmel Catholic High School is dependent on its parents to donate time and talent to support the school activities.  Various parent organizations exist to facilitate parental involvement including the Parents Club, Street Scenes, Athletic Boosters' Club, Carmel Catholic Council for the Arts, and the Volunteer Teacher Assistant Program.  In addition, the Office of Institutional Advancement has a number of projects in process, each requiring a number of volunteer leaders. While there is no requirement for parents to volunteer nor is there an expected number of donated hours, it is expected that Carmel parents will play an active role in the education of their child and in the life of their child's school.

Financial Assistance

Carmel Catholic High School is able to offer financial assistance to families who qualify.  All registered incoming and current Carmel students may apply online at www.factstuitionaid.com.  If possible, please submit your online application by April 1, 2011.  Families of students currently enrolled in the program will be mailed a brochure explaining the online application process.  During the 8th Grade Parent Orientation on March 3rd, the Business Office will have brochures available from the FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment Company.  Also, all registered Carmel students may contact the Business Office for a brochure.  The result of the applications will be sent to Carmel and notification letters will be mailed in early June 2011.  Only students who have completed the registration process at Carmel can be considered for financial assistance.
