Ursuline's Annual Fund
Ursuline’s Annual Fund provides vital support to our mission to educate each young woman for college and beyond. Please give at your highest potential to help our students reach theirs. »
By contributing to the Annual Fund, you help ensure Ursuline can deliver a well-rounded, high-quality education to girls across Cincinnati.
The Annual Fund supports the yearly operating budget and all aspects of the Ursuline educational experience, creating an environment where students thrive academically and personally. Your support enables Ursuline to offer students the following:
Personalized Learning Paths
Diverse course offerings and choice-driven programs combine for a high-quality education tailored to each girl’s unique interests, supporting her whole-person development.
A Supportive Learning Environment
With a low 12:1 student-to-teacher ratio and an unparalleled student-to-counselor ratio, faculty and staff build relationships with each girl, offering her individualized attention and support.
Opportunities to Shine
Whether on the field, on the stage, or in the classroom, Ursuline students gain confidence through athletics, performing arts, and leadership opportunities.
Robust Academics Taught by Innovative and Engaged Faculty
Professional development funds help Ursuline attract and retain exceptional teachers who bring dynamic, interactive learning to the classroom.
A Community of Kindness
Faith-based service opportunities foster a sense of empathy and responsibility, encouraging girls to lead with kindness and compassion.
Leadership Development
With more than 30 clubs and extracurricular activities plus a strong athletics program, Ursuline provides countless ways for students to grow as leaders, building skills that will serve them for life.
Ursuline’s Annual Fund helps create a vibrant, supportive, and faith-driven community where girls are empowered to grow, lead, and succeed.
Filling the “gap”
The difference between Ursuline Academy’s tuition and the actual cost to educate our young women is more than $4,000 per student.
The Annual Fund fills “the gap” throughout the school year so that every girl can benefit from a comprehensive UA education.
Tuition alone covers only about 80% of the actual cost to educate an Ursuline woman.
Contributions from alumnae, parents, trustees, faculty, staff, and friends help us close this gap and uphold the philosophy of our founders, the Ursuline Sisters of Brown County: We are committed to providing an exceptional education to any academically qualified student, regardless of financial need.
