All students applying for financial assistance must first go through the admissions process.
Financial assistance applications will not be reviewed unless a student has been admitted to the School and is registered for the 2015-2016 school year. All amounts granted for financial assistance are applied to the tuition rate only and cannot be applied to Capital Improvement or other fees.
All students must apply to the Step Up for Students Program at www.stepupforstudents.org and provide a copy of the confirmation page with this application.
Financial assistance will be provided based on review and verification of financial information provided on the financial assistance application.
ELIGIBILITY
Students must meet the following requirements in order to be considered for financial assistance:
1. Financial assistance application completed and all required documents submitted to Mrs. Maria Perez in the Tuition Office in room 112.
2. The student must have and maintain a 2.5 grade point average. 3. The student must have and maintain a satisfactory disciplinary record. 4. All fees must be paid in full prior to applying for financial assistance.
APPLICATION DEADLINE
Submit your application as early as possible. The School has allocated a fixed amount of its budget toward providing financial assistance; therefore, these funds are limited and will be provided on a first come, first served basis.
The deadline for submitting the application for the 2015-2016 school year is May 1, 2015.
USING YOUR TAX RETURN
If the student and/or parents need to file a 2014 income tax return with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), we recommend that you complete it before filling out this application. If you have not completed your return yet, you can submit your application using estimated tax information, and then correct the information after you file your return. However, in order to receive financial assistance, your 2014 tax return should be provided to the School no later than May 1, 2015.
If your family has unusual circumstances that might affect your financial situation (such as loss of employment), complete this form to the extent that you can, then submit it with a letter explaining your financial situation.
Financial Assistance Application 2015-16
Archbishop Edward A. McCarthy High School, “the School”, makes financial assistance available to all students who attend the School regardless of race, color, creed, disability or national origin. The financial assistance program takes the form of hardship assistance. Hardship assistance is determined based on financial need subsequent to the evaluation of the financial assistance application.
