Tuition & Scholarships

Our goal is to meet the needs of every family who enters our doors!

Through merit scholarships, need-based financial aid, or state funding, 100% of St. Edward families are offered a discounted tuition package. Tuition for the 2023-2024 school year is $19,350, with a $250 technology fee. Next year’s tuition will be announced in the spring.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, St. Edward is able to offer need-based tuition assistance. FACTS, a third-party company, assesses each family’s financial need. This online process requires federal tax forms and W2s. Click here for instructions.

Financial Aid applications are due November 15, 2023.

Families can utilize one of the Ohio Department of Education scholarships, a merit scholarship, or a music scholarship in addition to financial aid. The Diocese of Cleveland also awards need-based financial aid (DTA) with 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. The first round deadline to be considered for DTA is March 1. The second round and final date to file is May 1.
