MARIAN LEADERSHIP GRANT
The cost of private Catholic education is such that the tuition and fees charged do not cover the total cost of educating each student. Marian’s Advancement efforts, including the Marian Fund, Spring Raffle, and parent club fundraisers, are designed to make up the difference between the actual cost of educating each student (approximately $18,625 for 2023-2024) and the tuition charged ($15,825). Therefore, in accordance with Marian’s mission to serve as many families as possible, a Marian Leadership Grant of $2,800 is made available to each student.
MARIAN HIGH SCHOOL TUITION ASSISTANCE GRANTS
Fundamental to our mission is our desire to make a Marian education available to as many students as possible and to assist families who find themselves facing economic uncertainty. All families in need of tuition assistance are encouraged to apply. With the support of its Board of Directors, Marian is committed to providing significant assistance to qualifying families, with tuition assistance awards range from $500 to $11,000.
