For Every Private School, a Superlative
in response to reader comment: Double standard? Regis VS Marymount

Submitted by EdwardJNJ, Feb 4, 2008 20:04

There is no tuition at Regis because of a generous endownment provided by the anonymous founder in the early 1900's. This is supplemented by alumni contributions to the Annual Fund.
