Carroll Patriot Fund /

DID YOU KNOW THAT A GIFT TO THE CARROLL PATRIOT FUND IS JUST AS IMPORTANT TO THE SCHOOL'S ANNUAL BUDGET AS YEARLY TUITION? 

The actual cost of an Archbishop Carroll High School education is $13,500 per person for one school year.  Tuition covers 81% of that cost.  The Carroll Patriot Fund makes up the difference at approximately $2,500 per student.  Carroll has a history of keeping tuition affordable for our families.  This could not happen without your support of the Carroll Patriot Fund.

You can set-up, change or stop your gift at any time.  Consider an easy, ongoing, perpetual sustaining gift that will transform Carroll students year-round.  The recurring pledge option is available online once you select the fund.  You have control over the frequency and total occurrences for your donation.
