Cost to Educate a StudentRice is committed to investing in its students. Annual tuition covers only about 70% of the actual cost to educate a student. This year, the true cost to educate a student is $22,075, leaving a $6,825 annual gap for students that pay full tuition. The Rice Cathedral Fund exists to fill in that gap and allows us to keep tuition as low as possible.
We are grateful to the many alumni, parents, students, and businesses who generously contribute to the Rice Cathedral Fund. This fund also supports about $850,000 in financial assistance to students based on need, ensuring this preeminent education is accessible. Together, we are investing in our bright future. -
