Why is the Student Fund Important?
The St. Rose Student Fund bridges the gap between tuition and the true cost of a St. Rose School education. It supports our students, teachers, and programs, helping us provide an affordable, high-quality Catholic education for every student. Your gift helps make a St. Rose School education possible, giving students the lifelong gift of faith, academic excellence, and personal and spiritual growth.
Why is there a tuition gap?
To keep Catholic education affordable for families, tuition is set below the true cost of educating each student. The St. Rose Student Fund helps bridge the approximately $2,000 difference per student so we can continue providing an exceptional education rooted in our Mercy heritage.
What does it take to help bridge the tuition gap for one St. Rose student?
Approximately $2,000 per year helps cover the basic gap between tuition and the true cost of educating one student at St. Rose School.
Are families encouraged to donate?
Yes. Families are encouraged to support the St. Rose Student Fund at a level that is meaningful and appropriate for their circumstances. Those who are able are encouraged to cover the full cost of their child’s education, including the tuition gap. Every gift, regardless of size, helps strengthen our mission and provide a faith-filled Catholic education for all students.
Can I set up recurring gifts?
Yes! You can set up recurring gifts to the St. Rose Student Fund as either an ongoing gift or for a set number of payments. Contributions can be scheduled monthly, quarterly, semiannually, or annually—whatever works best for you. You may also select a suggested giving level or enter a custom amount. Your continued support helps sustain our programs and keep a unique Mercy heritage education affordable for every family.
