2009-2010 school year.
Due July 5, 2010 No Service Fee
II. Two automatic payments to FACTS Tuition Management:
Service Fee: $15.00 Annually per family

III. Eleven automatic monthly payments to FACTS Tuition

Methods of Payment:
FACTS payments can be made through checking or savings accounts or automatic payments with MasterCard, Discover Card or American Express Card.
Neither FACTS nor the school will have direct access to or any knowledge about the fund in any bank account. The bank makes the payment directly to FACTS on the day authorized. The process is similar to when a check is presented to the bank for payment. The person who receives a personal check has no knowledge of the bank account balance.
The FACTS Peace of Mind tuition protection program is an added OPTIONAL benefit offered to all families for a non-refundable, annual fee of $12.00 per agreement. In the event of death, the plan covers the person paying tuition and the spouse of that person. The benefit is then paid directly to the school to cover the unpaid balance (except payments in arrears) and the coverage takes effect as soon as the FACTS payment agreement is processed and a confirmation letter has been sent to the family.
Students are not allowed to take semester examinations if tuition is owed, fees or fines have not been paid or uniforms and equipment have not been returned.
Since the annual budget, the hiring of teachers, the purchase of supplies and materials and the fiscal operations of the school are based upon the numbers of students attending, if a student withdraws for any reason, any tuition or fees paid will be forfeit and not refunded.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Bishop Alemany High School offers two options for financial assistance for needy and deserving families. Both require that a new application be made each year, even if a student is already receiving assistance.
Catholic Education Foundation Tuition Award.
This is a direct grant of up to $1,00 or $2,000 per family based on financial need and meeting strict financial guidelines. Applications must be completed and submitted from November through January. Awardees are notified in May. An award is good for one year only and must be applied for each year.
Bishop Alemany High School Financial Assistance Award.
The school's scholarship fund provides up to a maximum of 50% of tuition (from all sources) per student based on family financial need, student scholarship, conduct and leadership. The program is managed through FACTS Grant in Aid by an on-line application at www.factstuitionaid.com. Awardess are notified in June.
PARENT SERVICE PROGRAM
Bishop Alemany High School Parent Association has a Parent Service Program. Families are required to contribute 15 hours of service per year to assist the school by volunteering their time in a variety of areas, including the Arts, Activities, Academic and Athletic programs.
A refundable deposit of $150 is collected at registration from each family. This deposit is held in escrow until graduation. Families that complete the service program will have the $150 deposit rolled over to the next year.
Parents may also elect to pay $150 per year and forgo completing volunteer service hours.
