Giving at St. Mary's Ryken

St. Mary’s Ryken is committed to keeping tuition affordable by bridging a gap of over $5,000 per student between tuition and the actual cost of education—an effort that totals more than $3 million annually.

Additionally, the school allocates nearly $2.5 million each year for merit scholarships and financial aid, helping families make an SMR education possible for their children.

Philanthropy plays a crucial role in sustaining affordability, supporting essential programs, and funding critical capital improvements.

Gifts to the Endowment are vital in securing the long-term future of St. Mary’s Ryken.

Sister Catherine Spalding

The Sisters of Charity of Nazareth and the Xaverian Brothers left a legacy of Catholic education for us in Southern Maryland. And St. Mary's Ryken is a vibrant community today because of their drive and determination - and also because of your generosity. St. Mary's Ryken is grateful to all those whose thoughtful planning has helped ensure a secure future for the school.

Our academic excellence has been sustained by the commitment and vision of generous donors whose gifts have improved campus facilities, strengthened faculty and academic resources, and provided access for students, regardless of their financial backgrounds
