The Tuition Guarantee Program
Chaminade sponsors a Tuition Guarantee Program through the Chaminade Development Fund, Inc. The purpose of this plan is to guarantee the payment of tuition to the School, until graduation of a given student if that student's parent or legal guardian should die while the student is in good standing at Chaminade. A brochure explaining the Plan is available on request, through the Treasurer's Office. Participation in the plan is mandatory for parents (mother and father) or legal guardians of all students enrolled at Chaminade. The tuition insurance premium is added to the tuition.

The Chaminade Development Fund, Inc.
The Chaminade Development Fund, Inc., exists for the purpose of promoting and supporting the educational work and activities of Chaminade High School. The Chaminade Development Fund has been recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as eligible to receive charitable (tax deductible) contributions.

The Chaminade Development Fund has assisted in the financing of many expansions and renovations of the Chaminade facilities over the years. The Development Fund also conducts the Tuition Insurance Guarantee Program.

A major activity of the Development Fund is the TORCH FUND, Chaminade's program of annual giving. The TORCH FUND solicits unrestricted gifts to the Development Fund. Earnings from the Development Fund investments are used to reduce tuition costs by providing additional revenues to the school. A long term goal of the Development Fund is to build an endowment to provide for the continued fiscal stability of the school.

Student Aid
The Chaminade Development Fund contributes to the tuition cost of all students, thus reducing the parent portion of the tuition. Beginning with the Class of 1999, financial aid is awarded based on need and available funds. A financial aid application may be obtained through the President's Office. For continued eligibility for financial aid, the following is required:
  • The family must submit a financial aid application each year for continuing need to be determined.

  • The student must achieve at least an 80% average for the school year.

  • The student must participate fully in at least one co-curricular or extracurricular activity. Athletic participation does not fulfill this requirement. If a student needs to work to pay the remaining portion of his tuition, the activity requirement may be waived and replaced by work at Chaminade.

  • The student must receive less than 10 demerits during the school year.

Merit scholarships are awarded to accepted candidates based on their scores on the Catholic High School Entrance Examination. To maintain a merit scholarship in future years, the following requirements must be met:
  • The student must achieve at least a 94% average for the school year.

  • The student must participate fully in at least two co-curricular or extracurricular activities. Athletic participation does not fulfill this requirement.
