Tuition & Fees:

Tuition for the 2010-2011 academic year will be $9,900.00, which includes a $250.00 non-refundable, non-transferable fee due upon date of registration.

Saint Raphael Academy has always been and will always be a school that never takes the financial commitment of its families for granted and always remains committed to making a Saint Raphael Academy education affordable. In fact, the Academy has always been among the most affordable options for Catholic high school in the area.

For information regarding tuition, fees, and payment plans, please see the 2009-2010 tuition, fees, and tuition assistance brochure.

Academic Scholarships:

Academic Scholarships are awarded by the Academy to the applicants who earn the highest scores on the entrance test and have grades commensurate with their ability. Recipients of these awards will be notified in their acceptance letters.

Need-Based Financial Aid:

Approximately 65% of our student body is currently receiving some form of need-based financial aid. Need-based financial aid is provided by Saint Raphael Academy and the Diocese of Providence.

In order to be considered for need-based aid, applicants must complete an application with FACTS, a company hired by the Diocese to evaluate a family's financial need.

As of November, 1, 2009 applicants can file an application with FACTS for the 2010-2011 academic year. The Academy strongly encourages all applicants to complete this application online at FACTSTuitionAid.com. However, a mail-in application can be obtained from the Business Office (contact information appears below).

Applicants are encouraged to complete an application with FACTS as early as possible. However, it is of the utmost importance that an application be completed by mid-February 2010 as the availability of need-based aid sharply decreases after that date.

Applicants will be informed of their need-based financial aid award for the 2010-2011 academic year by May 31, 2010.

If you have any questions about your FACTS application please do not hesitate to contact members of our Business Office or FACTS directly at 1-866-315-9262.

For more information about need-based and other sources of financial aid please see the 2009-2010 tuition, fees, and tuition assistance brochure.

Please note that it is the responsibility of the applicant to apply for financial aid annually.
