Tuition & Affordability

We believe that money shouldn't stand in your way of a great Jesuit education at U of D Jesuit.

The U of D Jesuit Income-Based Tuition Model is an initiative tailored to align the cost of tuition with individual family budgets. This model offers adjustments based on annual family income, ranging from less than $50,000 up to $225,000, though we encourage all families to apply for tuition reduction regardless of their annual income. Families seeking reduced tuition will have their applications thoroughly reviewed for potential adjustments based on family size and other circumstances.

U of D Jesuit reaffirms its pledge to provide a high-quality education to families with the introduction of the new U of D Jesuit Tuition Model, beginning in the 2024-2025 academic year.

Tuition for the 2025-2026 academic year will be set in January 2025.
