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.
