FINANCIAL AID

The cost of education can be a significant expense for some families.  Last year over $400,000.00 in financial aid was given to our students.  The cost to educate each student at Cardinal Ritter is approximately $12,000. 00.  This is significantly higher than the  $6,474.00 that is charged for tuition. We host a variety of fundraisers and receive donations to help defray the actual costs of education for each student.
