The Catholic Institute of Technology opened in Fall 2024 with a bold mission: to integrate faith and reason in the pursuit of truth. Formed by the Catholic tradition, we educate students to seek truth, beauty, and knowledge through rigorous study in philosophy, theology, and the sciences. We form saints, scholars, and scientists equipped to serve the Church and society through work grounded in faith, reason, and virtue. Now in its second academic year, CatholicTech is already creating new inroads in the sciences. Our reputation is growing rapidly and student demand is increasing. To meet that demand during our startup phase, we are excited to announce the CatholicTech Founders Society.
The Founders Society helps sustain our mission to integrate the rigors of technical education with spiritual formation in the Catholic faith and to serve the best and brightest students, regardless of their economic background. Members of CatholicTech's Founders Society will take part in a shared dedication to the long-term mission of forming leaders in faith, science, and engineering through a distinguished five-year commitment.
Through sustained annual contributions over five consecutive years, Founders Society Members provide the stability and confidence necessary for CatholicTech to build academic programs, campus infrastructure, student scholarships, and research initiatives. This five-year pledge represents a covenant of partnership, a concrete expression of belief in CatholicTech's enduring vision and its service to the Church and society.

Our Ten-Year Financial Plan
During this foundational period, CatholicTech is executing an ambitious plan to expand the campus and grow enrollment while steadfastly maintaining our commitment to affordability. We are actively working to diversify revenue streams through competitive research grants, development of local housing and business infrastructure, conferences and executive programs, and other mission-aligned on-campus initiatives. The objective of this strategy is to ensure that, over time, the majority of what is initially sustained by the Founders Society will be supported by durable institutional revenue.
The first pillar of our long-term financial plan is tuition, currently set at $46,775 and calibrated according to household income to ensure' accessibility for students from all backgrounds. Rooted in Rome, the heart of the Church, CatholicTech offers a unique environment where students live and study in close proximity to its spiritual and intellectual center. See more about our commitment to affordability here.
As a result of this commitment to affordability, tuition and student fees cover only 25% of our operating costs. An additional 15% is supported through strategic revenue initiatives, including hospitality and conferences. The remaining 60% is currently made possible by generous supporters who believe in the future of Catholic STEM education and in the impact our graduates will have on the Church and the world.
