Tuition & Financial Aid

In this economy, as always, decisions are made with faith and trust in God. Rosati-Kain provides quality academic and spiritual experiences for your daughters. We constantly update our program and facilities. Affordable and valuable create a healthy tension. Tuition does not fully fund the cost to educate a student and though responsible stewardship is our goal, the cost of education still increases.

Actual Cost to Educate an R-K Student = $9,500 per year

2011-2012 Tuition for Students from a Catholic parish* = $7,900

*Tuition for families not registered in a Catholic parish is $8,400, to make up for the contribution made by Catholic parishes to the ACA each year.

Sandra and Emily Shelley Scholarship

The Sandra and Emily Shelley Scholarship Fund was founded in December of 2010 for the purpose of providing Rosati-Kain Scholarship assistance to a senior who has demonstrated interest in nursing as a career and who will enroll in nursing school upon graduation from Rosati-Kain High School.

The application (click here to download) must be completed and submitted by November 2, 2011 to be considered for the scholarship award.

2011-2012 Tuition letters were mailed before Easter. All families must indicate their payment plan for next year. Note that the second sheet must be completed and returned to R-K. The new on-line system will give you more flexibility and control. Please be patient as we ask your help to put the new system in use.
