Experience Our Campus
Our beautiful hilltop campus gives you the best of both worlds: a close-knit community in a vibrant and dynamic city. St. Ed's is located on South Congress Avenue, which is lined with some of Austin's most iconic restaurants, shops and businesses, and is only a few miles from the heart of downtown.
We offer new freshmen up to
$28,000 per year in merit scholarships
$12,232 is the average tuition paid by our first-year students who received scholarships and/or grants
$37,215 is the average merit scholarship and/or grant awarded to first-year students
Deciphering the real cost of college can be complicated, but it doesn't have to be. It starts by understanding what you'll pay after you're awarded scholarships and grants. At St. Edward's, the average tuition paid by first-year students is less than half the sticker price.
Throughout my time at St. Edward’s, I’ve grown and developed in ways beyond what I ever thought possible. I’ve become much more compassionate, informed and oriented toward making positive contributions to my community.
