Like all private schools and colleges, tuition does not cover the total cost to educate each student. To keep Rice affordable, we discount tuition by 30 percent for all students. The Rice-Cathedral Fund helps close this funding gap and supports every aspect of the Rice experience. Every year, our generous donors help us bridge the tuition gap by giving to the annual appeal.
Funds raised in our annual appeal support our general operating budget and enhance programming. This year's appeal goal is $500,000.

Gifts can be made in many ways. Cash, check, credit card, stock, securities, in-kind donations of goods or services . Make your online gift to Rice here.

All gifts make a difference and your gift combined with those from parents, alumni, grandparents and friends provides substantial support for the community. Regardless of the amount, your gift will have an immediate impact on the students.
We ask that you make Rice one of your top philanthropic priorities. Regardless of the level of the gift, it is an expression of your support and is greatly appreciated. Early gifts and recurring gifts through our Centennial Club, reduce mailing costs and fundraising expenses.
