A Comprehensive Process. Tailored Solutions. At Carmel Catholic we recognize the complexity of family budgets and the sensitivity of financial disclosure. Our team works with each family individually to craft a solution based on their ability to pay and available aid and scholarships. Our process begins with a confidential application submitted to an independent vendor (FACTS Grants and Aid) for evaluation. The application and review process is completed annually to address changing circumstances.
