Tuition & Scholarships

Your Son. Your Investment. His Future.

At De Smet Jesuit education is a significant investment in your son's future. At De Smet, we understand the important financial commitment our families make towards their child's education. We also recognize that each family's financial situation is unique.

To support our high school students and their families, we offer the Family Tuition Assistance program, academic scholarships, and named scholarships provided by our generous benefactors. Our goal is to ensure that every high school student has access to the quality education they deserve, and we are here to help make that possible.

Because we've worked to make middle school tuition as affordable as possible, limited, need-based financial aid is part of the middle school program.
