An enrollment deposit of $1,500 is due four weeks after acceptance to hold a student's place in the class. This amount is reduced from total tuition.

Payment options include:

• 1 payment
• 3-payment schedule: due July 15, October 15 and January 15

Families choosing one of our payment options will be assessed a $50 fee through FACTS. Families paying in full are not assessed the fee and may remit payment directly to Chaminade.

Additional expenses include lunch (if not brought from home) and book purchases. 

Chaminade offers academic scholarships for incoming students based on two criteria:

1. Academic achievement
   AND
2. Standardized test scores.

There is no additional application for these scholarships; academic transcripts will provide sufficient information.

High School and Middle School Applicants' academic scholarships are based on a nationally recognized standardized test (SSAT, Iowa Basics, ERB, or Stanford Achievement) and achieving an A- or higher in their core academic classes. Academic scholarships range from $500 - $8,000, based on a composite score between the 91st and 99th percentile. 

Students who take the Missouri MAP test and achieve an "Advanced" score in both Communication/Language Arts and Math, as well as have an A- average in their core academic classes are eligible for a $6,000 scholarship. Students who achieve a "Proficient" score on one test and "Advanced" in another receive a $2,000 scholarship.

Students whose standardized test score does not qualify them for an academic scholarship have the option of taking the SSAT. Those scores must be sent to the admissions department by June 30th for consideration. See the SSAT website for test dates and locations.

NOTE: Freshman applicants must list Chaminade as their first choice school on the Archdiocesan Application form so we receive your transcripts.

Merit scholarships are renewable in subsequent years provided the student remains in good academic standing.

Chaminade’s financial assistance application is here. Chaminade uses FACTS Financial Management to collect and validate taxes. You must use the above link to fill out the application that is unique to Chaminade.

Applying for financial assistance is a separate process from applying for admittance. Admittance is based on merit alone. A family’s ability to pay will not affect an acceptance decision.

The application is extensive; the information is integral to capturing an accurate financial situation.  It asks for both parents’ (regardless of marital status) W-2s, tax returns, employment history, business taxes, if applicable, and information about household expenses like vacations and club sports. Every family’s unique application is reviewed by the Financial Aid Committee with the goal of being good stewards of our resources, and all information will remain confidential.
