Tuition and Financial Aid

Brophy is a private school which recognizes that the price of its tuition is beyond the reach of some families. As part of its mission, Brophy's goal is that no qualified student will be denied admission, or once enrolled, be compelled to leave because of verifiable financial need. Therefore, Brophy depends upon various sources to assist all qualified and acceptable applicants by providing financial aid and work scholarships.

Brophy asks that families considering financial aid honestly review their financial situation. It is to be hoped parents will give the education of their children the priority it deserves. After a family has done this and has decided that they need assistance, they should not hesitate to contact Brophy's Business Office.

Brophy wants its educational program to be available to every young man who could benefit from it. As a result it is Brophy's policy to seek out students of every race, color and ethnic origin. Such a mixed student body provides the best educational environment to prepare young men for positions of Christian leadership and responsibility in the contemporary world.

There is a difference between the tuition rate and the actual cost. This difference is primarily financed in two ways: first, the Jesuit community at Brophy makes a substantial contribution to the school; and, second, the parent Annual Giving Program is a voluntary effort in which parents who can afford to do more, make contributions according to their ability. In addition, Brophy also receives money from the Arizona State Tuition Tax Credit program

Important Financial Dates

The annual tuition rate for the 2008-2009 school year is $12,000. Please remember there are other cost/fees involved in your son’s education, which for new students includes the cost of his tablet computer. The other costs due at registration such as books, locks, pictures, etc. will range from $100.00 to $300.00 for new students.

The three tuition payment options are annual, semester and monthly. The first payment due date will depend on the payment plan you choose. A registration fee of $50.00 and a non-refundable deposit of $250.00 are required when you register. The deposit will be applied to the total tuition amount. If you have any questions concerning the tuition or payment schedules, or other financial arrangements, contact the Business Office, at (602) 264-5291, extension 6229.

FINANCIAL AID

FACTS

There are two financial aid programs at Brophy, which are "need" based. They are the Direct Grants Program and the Work Opportunity Program. The Direct Grants Program is a single monetary award applied directly against the student's tuition amount.

The Work Opportunity Program allows students to either work on campus or secure off campus employment, which is then deducted from the tuition amount as the work is done. Through the on campus program, students can perform various jobs that will fulfill their awarded amount, which is then deducted from the tuition. The off campus program, or "Value Added" Program as we have termed it, allows the student to work at an off campus position, bring his check in to the Business Office, and it will be applied against his work opportunity amount. With the "Value Added" Program, Brophy then matches that amount dollar for dollar.

The financial aid program is evaluated in relation to the tuition costs at Brophy. Book costs and other fees are not included in the financial aid package.

Financial aid is available to qualified applicants based on financial need, academic progress and behavior . The amount of aid available is limited. Returning students must reapply each year. Applications are available in the Business Office and Student Activities Office. Along with the application, a copy of your most recent tax return, W-2's and current pay stub(s) are required. Questions regarding aid should be directed to the Business Office at 602-264-5291, ext. 6229.

THE PROCESS

Returning Students:
Returning students must reapply each year if the family continues to need assistance. For their application to be processed, they must be pre-registered for the coming academic year. If a student received financial aid this year, an application for the upcoming year will be mailed to the family in January. Academic progress and discipline are considered for returning students. The application deadline for returning students is March 14, 2008.

New Students:
After your son has been accepted, the family should mail in the postcard included with your accept letter to request a financial aid application. Complete the application, attach the additional information (prior year tax return, W-2 forms, and current pay advice) and return it to the Business Office at Brophy. The application deadline for new students is April 1, 2008.

After your son's registration forms and enrollment package is complete, and returned with the deposit, appropriate fees, and signatures, your financial aid application will be evaluated. You will receive notification of the decision by letter in early May. Remember that the registration process must be complete (forms, deposit, fees, signatures) before your financial aid application will be evaluated.
