Financial
Aid
Through its benefactors and through
tuition funds, Archbishop Rummel provides a limited amount of financial
aid each year. When it can, the school seeks to provide financial
assistance to students who otherwise would be unable to attend the
school. Under the tuition assistance program, students must provide for
their registration and building fund fees. Tuition funds are for tuition
charges only.
A budgeted amount of
financial aid (separate from the school’s
academic scholarship awards) is awarded on a yearly basis to Archbishop
Rummel High School students. Financial aid is based strictly on family
need and is available to a student registered for the following school
year. Parents/guardians must apply for financial aid each spring.
Parents/guardians
wishing to receive financial aid must submit an application to
Financial Aid
Independent Review (FAIR),
an independent company. The guidelines for submitting the application
are established by FAIR. Application forms can be obtained from the
FAIR after March 15. Parents/guardians mail the application form
directly to FAIR according to the deadline specified by the company.
The Financial Aid
Committee, composed of the President, the Principal, the Executive
Director of Finance, the
Financial Aid Program Administrator, and
a
member of the school’s
Finance Committee determines the minimum and maximum amounts of
financial aid each year based on the amount of aid budgeted and the
tuition established for the coming year.
FAIR notifies the
school of its recommendations and the Financial Aid Committee then
reviews the report issued by FAIR. In the event of extenuating
circumstances concerning an applicant’s
family that occur after the application process begins, the Financial
Aid Committee may make adjustments in the amount of awarded aid.
The Financial Aid
Program Administrator then notifies parents/guardians who applied for
financial aid of the award or denial. A form acknowledging the
acceptance of the financial aid award and the resulting stipulations is
signed by the President and the parents/guardians. A tuition loan with
First Bank is reduced at no cost for the parents/guardians of a student
who receive a financial award.
The school’s
financial aid budget also includes a specified amount that can be used
in the case of a family emergency that occurs during the school year.
Any financial award not used or forfeited during the school year is
added to this specified amount. The Financial Aid Committee may
allocate this money.
A student who
receives financial aid must perform work as assigned by the Financial
Aid Program Administrator. The work performed involves labor on the
school’s
campus. Work projects must be approved in advance by the Financial Aid
Program Administrator and the President. The Financial Aid Program
Administrator determines the work schedule for each financial aid
recipient. The Financial Aid Program Administrator is responsible for
keeping a daily written verification of the work performed. Both the
Financial Aid Program Administrator and the student sign the form
indicating the assignment. The President and Executive Director of
Finance receive a weekly report on the work status of any student
receiving financial aid.
A student who fails
two or more subjects at the end of the first semester forfeits his
financial aid for the remainder of the school year. The student’s
account must be paid in full by April 30. A student who fails two or
more subjects at the end of the second semester forfeits his award for
the following school year.
A student who is
placed on disciplinary probation prior to April 30 immediately forfeits
his financial aid for the remainder of the school year. The student’s
account must be paid in full by April 30. A student who is placed on
disciplinary probation after April 30 forfeits his award for the
following school year.
