What is a Gordon Tech Education worth?
Colleges and universities recognize the value of a Gordon Tech, Catholic,
Resurrectionist, College-prep education. Our graduates often credit much of their
success in college and in life to the foundation they received at GT. Most families want
an education for their children that teaches them content, critical thinking and
responding, and prepares them for college and life. Our hope is that GT will prepare our
graduates to be men and women who will resurrect society in the spirit of faith, respect,
discipline and excellence. Thus, the worth of a GT education is tangible and yet
intangible, measurable and yet immeasurable.

Tuition:
Providing the best possible education requires highly qualified teachers, diverse academic
and co-curricular programs, state of the art technology and a well maintained building.
While Gordon Tech tries to limit costs and keep our school an excellent and affordable
place for your sons and daughters, we recognize that we are tuition driven. Tuition for the
2009-2010 is $8250.00. This is the same tuition rate as in 2008-2009.

The real cost of educating each student is $11,325.00 per student.

To make up the difference, there are several means to do this:

A Registration fee of $350.00 (non-refundable) is required to reserve a space for the
upcoming school year and to begin the scheduling process. Due: Friday March 27, 2009.

A Fundraising fee of $200.00 is the family way of asking others to help pay for their son
or daughter’s tuition. The Annual Fall Raffle (Saturday October 24, 2009) is the major
and required activity to accomplish this. There is also a voluntary fundraiser in the spring
called: “The Walk to Wrigley.”

A Tech fee of $100.00 helps to defray the costs of technology within all areas of the
school.

A Retreat fee covers the costs of the retreat at the appropriate grade level.
A Graduation fee covers most costs of the graduation activities for seniors.

We also depend on the generosity of parents, alumni, foundations, bingo and friends who
contribute to fundraising activities at GT to cover the gap between the cost per student
and the tuition we must charge to provide a quality, Catholic education.

Tuition does not cover the cost of : books, uniforms, lunches, and transportation to and
from school.

Activity Fee: parents are required to pay $150.00 per sport or activity. This covers the
cost of rentals, uniforms, supplies, league fees, transportation and coaching/ moderating.
.

1). Full payment of total tuition of fees to the school by August 1st. You will receive a
$150.00 discount.

Financial Aid:
Financial Aid is awarded on the basis of need once a student has been offered admission.
Need is determined by such factors as income, family size, assets and liabilities. Parents
must complete the Application for Tuition Assistance 2009-2010. This is due on
Wednesday April 1, 2009.

Work-Study Program for Students
A limited number of work-study assistance is available for families determined to be in
financial need. Students can work off from $500-$2000.00 of their tuition throughout the
year. See Mr. John Bradarich for further information.

Parent- Work Program
A limited number of parent-work program assistance is available for families determined
to be in financial need. Parents can work off from $500- $2000.00 of their son or
daughter’s tuition. See Mr. John Bradarich for further information.

Students receiving financial aid and participating in the work-study program are expected
to have passing grades, good behavior and a healthy work ethic. A meeting for students
and parents is required in late August. A failure to meet these requirements will result in
the cancellation of financial aid or the work program. Families must apply each year.
