AQUINAS LANDMARK | SPRING 2023 WHERE DOES THE MONEY RAISED GO? Money raised goes to the Aquinas Fund. Tuition covers about 80% of our school’s annual budget; the Aquinas Fund bridges that gap between tuition and the cost of educating each student. Aquinas Fund giving impacts every part of our community; faculty and staff professional development, academic programming, technology, athletics, arts and music. Every student is impacted by the Aquinas Fund!
