The average tuition for the 2020-2021 school year will be $5,644 short from the full cost of educating each student at Rosarian. The Rosarian Fund bridges that gap and ensures that every year, every student, every day receives the Rosarian Experience beyond what can be provided by tuition alone.

THIS YEAR, MORE THAN EVER, ROSARIAN NEEDS YOUR HELP!

Traditionally, the gap in tuition is 10-12% of the operating budget. The gap for 2020-2021 has significantly increased to 26% due to COVID-19 and efforts to keep all students and faculty healthy and safe, while providing an unparalleled educational experience.

GIVING TOWARDS THE GAP IS THE BRIDGE TO BUILDING THE FUTURE. Rosarian Academy, like other independent schools, utilizes tax-deductible donations rather than significant tuition increases to provide the best education possible. This year, The Rosarian Fund is our most critical annual fundraising effort to bridge the gap, because the traditional annual Auction & Ball may not be possible due to the global pandemic.

Every family is asked to regard The Rosarian Fund as your first giving priority. We understand that many of you may be facing substantial financial hardships. We encourage you to give the amount that is comfortable for your family. If your financial situation affords you the opportunity to give more this year, please consider donating what you would to both The Rosarian Fund and the Auction & Ball.

Every gift, large or small, honors Rosarian’s 95-year history and helps bridge the gap to build the future for our students today and for generations to come.
