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 Scholarship 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.
The Development Fund publishes an Annual Report for all members of the Chaminade Family. Further information about the Chaminade Development Fund may be obtained from the Support section of our website or from the Director of Development.
Student Aid
Beginning with the Class of 1999, financial aid has been awarded based on financial need and available funds. Financial aid applications may be found here. To be considered for continued eligibility of financial aid, the following is required:
- The family must submit a financial aid application each year and demonstrate financial need.
- 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 TACHS exam. 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.
- The student must receive less than 10 demerits during the school year.
No athletic scholarships are offered. Students may apply for work on the school cleaning/maintenance staff to supplement other sources of family income. Applications for this work can be obtained in the Office of the President.
