    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.

    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. Even though the IRS allows an extension to file until October 15, the State of Indiana does not recognize that for the purpose of the choice scholarships. If you qualify for a choice scholarship but do not comply with the timeline and miss the window, the difference will not be made up in direct BCHS aid.

    Contact Karen Feeney, Tuition Manager, if you have questions about the status of your account in regards to this rule at kfeeney@bishopchatard.org.

    Visit our Vouchers page for additional information and eligibility guidelines.


    BCHS Financial Aid
    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.
    Visit our FACTS FAQS PAGE for FACTS application and information.


    Tuition FACTS Payment Options
    Below are the payment options available through 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.
