Financial Aid is need based. Awards are determined on a family's ability to pay.

• - Families applying for financial aid will be evaluated to ensure every effort is being made to meet the tuition on their own.

• - As a general rule, we expect the parent(s)/guardian(s) to pay at least half of the tuition.

• - Financial Aid results in a reduction in the tuition charge. It is not a loan or scholarship nor is it taxable to the family.

• Financial Aid is only available to full-time, domestic students.

• - Parent(s) and student(s) will be requested to serve school volunteer hours if awarded Financial Aid.

• - The application process is handled independently from BCHS' admissions process.

• - If your 2023 income taxes are not completed, please supply your 2022 tax return and W-2s for 2023. Clarity will use the supplied information to compute estimated federal taxes. Clarity estimates the highest tax a family is likely to pay.

• - There is a $60 application fee, payable by credit card (MasterCard and Visa) or check mailed directly to Clarity.
