Grant & Aid
Grant & Aid
Cardinal Shehan School is committed to providing affordable access to a Catholic education. Our school offers need-based aid. To be eligible for financial aid consideration annually, new and current families must complete a financial aid application through FACTS for a child's award to be renewed. Since a family's economic and financial circumstances change from year to year, our finance committee must review the family's financial needs qualifications each year.
We are here to meet with you to address affordability questions, and to show you how to make a Cardinal Shehan education possible for you and your family!
FACTS
FACTS is the tuition management and grant and aid platform used by Cardinal Shehan Catholic School and all the schools in the Archdiocese of Baltimore. Apply for a tuition assistance grant from the Archdiocese of Baltimore by completing the forms for FACTS online at online.factsmgt.com/aid at your earliest convenience. Grants are given based on your income from the previous year, and they are processed in the order received for families who demonstrate need. Apply early!
The grant and aid application is housed on the same platform for every school, parish, and the Archdiocese of Baltimore assistance. Therefore, a family need apply only once for possible support from these various sources. Read more information about FACTS.
BOOST
The Broadening Options and Opportunities for Students Today (BOOST) Program provides tuition assistance for students who are eligible for the free or reduced–price lunch program. Awards are granted based on household income, with the lowest income served first. The BOOST program and its funding are governed by the annual state budget bill. Scholarship awards are dependent on available funding, and are not guaranteed yearly. Read here for more information.
Children's Scholarship Fund
