TUITION ASSISTANCE & SCHOLARSHIPS
While paying for a Catholic education is an investment in your child’s future, we know the cost of tuition and fees can sometimes be a burden on our families.

Below is information on some of the financial aid programs currently available.
Each opportunity has a different application process and qualifying criteria so we encourage you to contact St. Richard School if have questions or require assistance in any way.
