Financial Aid Applications Due Feb. 9
Through the generosity of our benefactors and the success of our annual fundraisers, Carondelet has been able to provide tuition assistance to many young women who would otherwise not have the opportunity to attend Carondelet. This school year, Carondelet is providing almost 25% of the student body with tuition assistance, which amounts to approximately $1,280,000.
Tuition assistance is awarded to families who demonstrate financial need. Many families who send their daughters to Carondelet High School make financial sacrifices. The Tuition Assistance Program is designed to help those families that, even with their sacrifices, need help in meeting their financial obligations. Applications for aid for the 2018-19 school year are due by
Friday, Feb. 9.
