University of Saint Mary is a private institution. The tuition a student pays covers approximately forty-five percent of the cost of a Saint Mary education. Private gifts meet the difference between the full cost and the actual tuition charges. Parents who are able to contribute to the university’s educational mission are encouraged to do so by participating in the annual giving program.
