Financial Aid & Voucher Information: 
Indiana Choice Scholarship Program “State Voucher” Applications must be completed by Aug. 15, 2021, in order to receive the state voucher for the 2021-2022 school year.

REMINDER: In order to receive any financial aid from Bishop Chatard, you must apply for financial aid through the BCHS FACTS financial aid. No financial aid will be awarded unless a FACTS application is complete. FACTS applications must be done online at

Below are the payment options available on FACTS:

  • Annually – One-time payment made by July 30; when paying by FACTS, cash, or check, receive a $200 discount.
  • Semi-Annually (FACTS) – Semi-annual payments are made on July 5, 2021, and January 5, 2022.
  • Quarterly (FACTS) – Quarterly payments are made on July 5, 2021; Oct. 5, 2021; Jan. 5, 2022; and April 5, 2022.
  • Ten Month (FACTS) – Ten payments beginning in July 2021 and concluding in April 2022.
  • Some FACTS payment plans will not start until August and will run through May as the business office deals with the financial aid/Indiana Choice Scholarship program changes.

Families on FACTS payment plans: The BCHS Business office is still working on getting everyone's plan up and running this year. Due to the significant changes to the Indiana Choice program, this is a much longer process this year. Many families will not start until August (but will get their full 10-month cycle).  If you have not been set up for your normal first payment in July, we will get to you for August.

The BCHS business office must have your 2020 tax return as soon as possible in order
to process any financial aid or Indiana Choice Scholarship applications. The IRS does
allow for an extension to file until October 15, however, the State of Indiana does not recognize that for the purpose of the choice scholarships. If you qualify for a choice
scholarship and do not comply with the timeline and miss the window, the difference
will not be made up in direct BCHS aid.
