Grant & Aid

It is understood and appreciated the financial commitment and sacrifice families undertake in deciding to send their children to a Catholic school. And although paying for education is first and foremost the responsibility of a family, each school, parish and the Archdiocese of Baltimore devote significant funds each year to financial aid programs that help assist families. In turn, our school communities benefit by attracting students that otherwise would not be able to attend our schools.

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

Children’s Scholarship Fund provides educational opportunities for families in need by providing scholarships, so students can attend any school that best meet their needs, regardless of their ability to pay or where they live.
