[Mpls] Cost of Stadium and Tuition at D

[nikkicarlson001 at aol.com]

Thank you very much for your concern for the students of DeLaSalle. I am just really grateful. Thank you. Here is the info:
 
- DeLaSalle's tuition is the 3rd least among the 12 Catholic schools in the area, and much less expensive than most private schools
- Over half the kids get need based financial aid - and I believe it is the most per capita of any private school
- NO tuition dollars go toward capital campaigns, nor have any capital improvements EVER been paid for out of tuition, just private donations
- Tuition did go up this year, I think about $500, to cover increased salaries, and the financial aid endowment increased the same percentage
- If you want to make a donation, you can call 612-676-7600 and ask for the development office. You can specify where you want the money to go
 
School started at DeLaSalle on Monday, and I see all the terrific kids heading to the island walking from downtown, Northeast, getting off the bus, toting heavy backpacks of books. They are beautiful, and full of potential, and a wonderful sight to see.
