Tuition & Scholarships

100% of St. Edward families are offered a discounted tuition package!

Every student is eligible for a state scholarship, which can be combined with additional support like financial aid, endowed scholarships, merit scholarships, and music scholarships to further reduce tuition. We are dedicated to working with families to make a St. Edward education accessible to all.

Tuition for the 2024-25 school year is $19,950, with a $400 student life fee. 

Need-Based Financial Aid

Thanks to the generosity of the St. Edward community, significant need-based financial aid is offered to families who qualify. FACTS, a third-party company, assesses financial need through an online application that requires parents to upload last year's tax forms and W2s. 

The Diocese of Cleveland also awards need-based financial aid (DTA) through the FACTS application. Once you submit your FACTS application for St. Edward financial aid, simply log back into FACTS and opt into the Diocesan Tuition Assistance program by answering a few additional questions.

Financial aid application

Endowed Scholarships

A variety of scholarships, endowed by generous St. Edward supporters, are available for incoming freshmen. These scholarships recognize promising young men for their academic excellence, dedication to service, and leadership potential, in addition to financial need. To be considered, students must submit a scholarship application, and parents must submit the FACTS financial aid application. The application deadline for Class of 2029 endowed scholarships has passed.

Merit Scholarships

St. Edward offers annually renewable, merit-based scholarships to students who earn superior composite scores on the High School Placement Test. Students who score in the top tenth percentile nationally automatically qualify for the following tuition reduction:

Merit-based scholarships are annually renewable, provided the student maintains a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.3 and a minimum semester GPA of 3.0. Students are able to apply for need-based financial aid in addition to earning a merit scholarship.

Music Scholarships

St. Edward offers music scholarships for incoming freshmen interested in pursuing music in high school. This $1,500 award is earned through an application and audition. It is annually renewable, provided students participate in instrumental/vocal music as a member of one of the following ensembles:

• Marching Band (fall) and Symphonic Band (winter and spring) - Both groups rehearse after school.
• Orchestra - Orchestra meets all year as a class period, as well as rehearses before school twice per week.
• Choir - Choir meets all year as a class period, as well as rehearses after school twice per week.

To be considered for this scholarship, students must fill out a brief online form. A member of the performing arts department then schedules the student’s audition in December. Auditions consist of a solo (3–5 minutes in length), scales, vocal exercises, rudiments, or sight-reading.

Ohio Department of Education Scholarships
