As a Franciscan school, a governing principle of Archbishop Curley High School is the desire to provide a quality Catholic education to young men of all backgrounds. While Curley seeks to provide tuition aid to qualified students, families must be prepared to pay the annually stated tuition. Therefore, Archbishop Curley High School is not able to fund the entirety of a family’s financial need.
Funds for all merit and financial aid grants are drawn from non-operating capital, fund-raising events and gifts or endowments established by benefactors of the school. Curley’s Financial Assistance Committee meets to review all accepted applicant files. These awards, distributed in various amounts, are based on academic excellence and outstanding talents, as well as financial need.

The St. Clare Catholic School Teacher’s Grant was established to recognize the contributions of full-time teachers and administrators in Catholic schools within the Archdiocese of Baltimore. The St. Clare Catholic School Teacher’s Grant may be received and is renewable as long as the student’s parent remains employed in a full-time position at a Catholic school in the area.
Recipients of the St. Clare Catholic School Teacher’s Grant are reviewed at the end of each academic year to determine their eligibility for renewal. For this reason, you will need to verify your employment in a Catholic school, and your son must demonstrate satisfactory academic achievement, as well as satisfactory discipline and attendance records, for the grant to be renewed.
Athletic Grants are awarded to students demonstrating a high level of athletic talent and ability. Athletic Grants are modest in nature, and students are considered for an Athletic Grant through consultation with Archbishop Curley’s program head coaches.

This scholarship is renewable. To retain the award in subsequent years, students must continue to meet these criteria each academic year.
