Scholarship and Aid

St. Charles was founded in 1923 with the mission to serve all families in central Ohio seeking a Catholic all-boys college preparatory education. Today, we are still committed to assisting families financially to make a St. Charles education a reality. Each year, our students receive over 1.8 million dollars in scholarship and tuition assistance from the St. Charles Endowment Fund and our generous benefactors. This fund is generously supported by our many alumni, families, and friends. Below are the scholarship and financial assistance avenues available to prospective families:
