Mount Carmel Academy has been recognized as a Top 10 Non-Public School for excellence in FAFSA completion by the Louisiana Office of Student Financial Assistance. Great job to Mrs. Caruso, MCA’s College Scholarship Coordinator, and the Class of 2024 on this achievement!

Completing FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) gives students additional opportunities to make college more affordable. It opens up access to various forms of financial aid for college, including federal grants, low-interest loans, work-study opportunities, and even state and school scholarships.
