Program Highlights 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 2020 income taxes are not completed, please supply your 2019 tax return and W-2s for 2020.
