Financial Aid Programs Scholarship Programs Tuition Assistance

Good Counsel seeks to provide a quality college preparatory education at the most affordable rate possible, with tuition fees set annually by the Good Counsel Board of Directors in January. Tuition rates include daily lunch for students. Tuition does not cover the cost of uniforms, extracurricular activities fees, or the registration fee for new students. Families may be asked to purchase some books as required for certain courses, but the state of Maryland provides five books at no charge to every student.

Financial Aid

Good Counsel offers financial aid to qualified families to help reduce the total cost of tuition. We encourage all students, both new and returning, to complete the online FACTS application each year. These forms take approximately 30 minutes to complete.

Good Counsel uses FACTS (Nelnet tuition services) for the collection and initial evaluation of financial data. FACTS does not decide whether financial aid will be given or how much to give. FACTS provides a need-based financial analysis service.

Good Counsel does not participate in BOOST.

FAQ's

Do I have to enroll in FACTS even if I intend to pay (or have already paid) my tuition in full?

When will I know how much I owe in tuition?

I share responsibility for my student’s tuition with another adult (e.g., other parent). How will this be handled?

The school will bill 100% of the student’s tuition to one FACTS account established for that student. It is up to the student’s parents to determine which one will establish the account and how it will be funded. Good Counsel will withhold academic records for any student whose tuition is not paid in full regardless of the payment arrangement between the parents.

Are there any fees I should be aware of?

What if I want a payment schedule different from what I originally signed up for?

All requests for alternate payment arrangements must be sent to Walter Rine at wrine@olgchs.org. Under any payment arrangement, the first tuition installment must be paid in June. The tuition deposit is not considered the first installment under your payment plan. Your billing will reflect the new arrangement if approved. Additional payments can always be applied ahead of the posted schedule.
