Chicago Jesuit Academy’s educational goals are lofty. They are also expensive. The cost of educating a student in classes of 12 or fewer students from breakfast at 7:30 AM until the end of study hall at 6:00 PM is $12,000 annually.

Chicago Jesuit Academy charges no tuition. Families make a $120 investment in their child’s education and make an 8-hour volunteer committment throughout the 11-month school year. Students also have daily responsibility for the upkeep of our school building.

Much of the support necessary to operate the Academy comes from 4-year Sustainable Scholarships. Sustainable Scholarships are gifts from individuals, groups of individuals, families, foundations and corporations who contribute $12,000 annually for each of the four years a student is with us.

Sustainable Scholarship Sponsors receive:
o A letter from a different student each semester describing the student’s progress
o Photos of students
o Recognition in Academy publications
o Invitations to special Academy events
o Tax deductions for their gifts
o The satisfaction of knowing they have helped open the doors of a college education to a child from an underserved background

The Sustainable Scholarship program is vital to the success of Chicago Jesuit Academy and our student’s future. Please consider a scholarship gift.
