How Tuition Works at St. Bernard’s:
At St. Bernard’s, because we believe in the value of our education and the faculty and staff that make it possible, our tuition prices reflect that value.
At the same time, St. Bernard’s is blessed with wonderful donors who believe that this education should be available for as many men and women as possible. Because of the generosity of these donors, no student is turned away — 100% of applicants are awarded financial assistance.
In fact, most of our students receive generous financial aid that covers between 30-50% of their tuition cost.
As you discern a program to grow in knowledge and love of God, reach out to us today to explore how our generous team of donors can assist your pursuit of theological or philosophical education.
