Tuition and Costs

A Catholic Institute of Technology education represents a deliberate investment in world-class technical training, rigorous intellectual formation, and authentic Catholic life. Tuition at CatholicTech is set with care to reflect both the true costs of providing an exceptional education in STEM and the lasting value delivered to students through small cohorts, close faculty mentorship, and an integrated formation of mind, character, and faith. We work diligently to ensure that our pricing is transparent, responsible, and aligned with the educational experience we offer.

Additional charges will apply for summer or short course enrollment

Commitment to Affordability – Tuition Discounts by Household Income

Catholic Institute of Technology is committed to expanding access to a rigorous and authentically Catholic education in STEM for qualified students from a wide range of economic backgrounds. Every student admitted to CatholicTech meets the highest standards—academically, personally, and spiritually. For this reason, CatholicTech does not offer merit-based scholarships. Instead, the Institute directs its financial resources toward need-based financial aid, with the aim of substantially reducing financial barriers for admitted students and making enrollment possible for many families who would otherwise be unable to attend. Tuition discounts at CatholicTech are provided on a sliding scale based on household income, with the goal of aligning net tuition as closely as possible with a family’s ability to pay. The table below illustrates the average tuition discount for families with typical assets. For families with two or more students enrolled in college during the same academic year, household income may be divided by two when estimating expected net tuition.

Boarding and Residential Life

CatholicTech’s residential experience is a central part of student formation. Set on expansive grounds designed to foster study, prayer, and community life, the campus is intentionally residential—student life happens on campus, creating a close-knit academic and spiritual environment that is both rigorous and supportive.
