affording Regis

Through a unique mix of challenging academics and the values of the Sacred Heart, Regis empowers students of all faiths to become lifelong scholars and authentic, compassionate leaders. We are committed to providing an accessible and unique boy-centered, Sacred Heart education to all students. Since its inception, Regis has offered tuition assistance to families who could otherwise not afford The Regis Experience for their sons. Currently, nearly 15% of our students receive some sort of support to attend Regis. All families who feel they may qualify are encouraged to apply for tuition assistance. All tuition assistance is need-based and confidential. Applications for tuition assistance remain strictly independent of the admission process.
