PARTICIPATING CATHOLIC ALLOWANCE ($1,000) This voluntary allowance is provided by Bishop Verot High School for Catholic families that are registered, participating, and contributing members of a parish in the Diocese of Venice as of the date of registration. If you require the assistance to help your student attend Bishop Verot, please complete a Parish Card and submit it to your Parish. The Parish will complete the card and return to Bishop Verot. The Allowance will not be credited to your account until we receive verification of eligibility from your Parish. Please check the box appropriate to your situation. Please list your Parish on the form. If you are eligible for the allowance but wish to voluntarily waive the allowance so that we may use the funds to help additional students attend Bishop Verot High School for the 2015/2016 school year please check the box. 4. NEED BASED TUITION ASSISTANCE AND SCHOLARSHIPS If you have filed or will file for need based tuition assistance please check the word "Yes." Applications must be filed with FACTS by March 15, 2015 and Step Up for Students at your earliest convenience. Determination and notification of need-based tuition assistance will be made in April 2015. Applications submitted after March 15, 2015 will be placed on a waiting list and will not be reviewed until after all timely filed applications have been reviewed. Please be advised that financial aid funding is limited and applications not filed by the deadline may result in financial assistance being denied or may result in a reduced award. As financial assistance is granted on a year by year basis you must file a new application each year. Bishop Verot cannot award any need based assistance if an application is not timely and properly filed with FACTS and Step Up for Students. 5. BALANCE DUE Notice of the final balance due on tuition and fees will be sent after any financial aid, state scholarships and FACTS tuition payment plans have been completed, if applicable. Bishop Verot High School attempts to keep our operating costs and expenses as low as possible. To assist in keeping our costs as low as possible we require that families either pay the tuition balance in full on/before June 30, 2015 or enroll in FACTS to pay the tuition in installments. Installment payments begin in July 2015 for the 2015/2016 school year. PAYMENT OPTIONS 6a. For families that wish to pay the tuition in full, payment is due on/or before June 30, 2015. Credit cards will be accepted for payment and subject to a 2.5% convenience fee. The school accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. Credit card payments may be made in person or by phone with FACTS. Full Tuition may also be paid to FACTS by selecting the “1 payment in full plan” and incur no enrollment fee. Full payment will be deducted from the account of your choice July 5th or July 20th, 2015. 6b. Installment Payments Bishop Verot Catholic High School has retained FACTS Tuition Management Systems (FACTS) to assist with the collection of tuition. All families not paying in full must have an account set up with FACTS. All payments must be paid to FACTS through your account.
