Tuition and Financial Aid

2013-2014 Tuition

BMCHS Tuition Rates are inclusive of books and class fees except for the REACH program for those who qualify.

Discounted Catholic Tuition Rate $8,350.00 Full Tuition $11,700.00

Regsitration Fee $400 per family

Discounted Catholic Tuition of $8,350.00 is available for supporting members of a Catholic Parish. Parishes subsidize their Catholic students; if a parish cannot verify participation (i.e. provide a signed Parish Participation Form), then tuition will be set at the full rate of $11,700.00.

Catholic Tuition Rate is a discount based on each student’s participating Catholic status. Participating Catholic status is determined by the student’s pastor and indicated by the pastor’s signature on a Parish Participation Form. Participating Catholic status is subject to periodic review by the student’s pastor, which could result in an increase of the tuition rate charged to the student. Each Parish Priest determines the criteria for “Participating Catholic Status” within their Parish.

$150 Tuition discount when tuition is paid in full prior to June 1

Registration Fee: $400 per family, due at the time of registration. (Non-refundable after May 1)
Registration Fee after May 1 is $500

Multi- Student Discount: A $400 discount will be given to families with 2 or more students. Discounts will begin with the second student and can be taken with the Single Payment tuition option, or off of the final FACTS payment for FACTS Agreement Holders.

The FACTS Tuition Management Program, contracted by the school, offers families several options for payment. Tuition for all students may be paid annually, by semester (July and December), a ten-month plan (July - April) or a 12-month plan (June - May).

A FACTS Automatic Tuition Payment Agreement Plan (On-line registration) is required for all students except those preferring a Single Payment in Full, and is expected to be on file prior to May 1, 2013.
