Tuition: Affording Marian Catholic
Marian Catholic High School makes every effort to provide an affordable, quality, Christ-centered education to our students. The cost to educate each student exceeds the total tuition and fees that are assessed to each student’s account, which means that every student is granted a discounted tuition.
However, we at Marian Catholic know that our prospective families may need more support in order to afford the education they desire. It is important to keep in mind that Catholic education is a choice for our families. Both Marian Catholic and our families make significant financial sacrifices to support this choice. Since we believe in believe strongly in the financial contribution of the family, no students at Marian Catholic are fully funded through the tuition assistance program.
Currently, for this academic year, 62.3 percent of Marian Catholic students received need-based tuition assistance, with $475,877 of need-based aid distributed among those students. We are grateful for the EITC/OSTC tax credit program, financial aid donations, memorial gifts, and transfer grants to allow us to provide this type of need based assistance. All tuition assistance awards are kept confidential, with the exception of memorial scholarships.
Did you know...that members of our Class of 2023 — who are attending a four year college or university — are currently receiving an average $15,743 in scholarships per year. The investment in your son or daughter's tuition at Marian Catholic is rewarded in their post-secondary education — where graduates earn back more than double the cost of our tuition — in college scholarships!
Now that is a worthwhile investment!
