Tuition Assistance

Opportunities for Every Boy

Saint John Bosco, in his ministry to serve the young, often identified and encouraged young men who he felt had vocations. In the same way, we believe that becoming a Shaw student is a calling to a relationship with God and others.

We work to identify those young men who need the encouragement to pursue that calling. Archbishop Shaw has unique financial aid opportunities that can help to offset the cost of education.

Salesian Aid

Here at Archbishop Shaw, we understand that the high tuition costs of a Catholic High School education makes it out of reach for some. The goal of Salesian Aid is to give every family the opportunity to apply for some level of assistance to fill the gap between the tuition rate and what you can afford. This program does include a work study component based on each family’s level of assistance.

The application process for this opportunity is completed using the TADS online tuition assistance and financial assessment portal.
Please note that families must reapply each year throught TADS to continue to receive aid.
