Sacred Heart Major Seminary (SHMS) seeks to provide maximum financial aid from various federal, state, private and institutional sources. Available to all students, financial aid programs support SHMS' commitment to equipping future ordained and lay ministers, and to providing an authentic Catholic education to those who want to articulate the Catholic faith with confidence.
All students of SHMS are encouraged to apply for assistance. It is our goal to make it possible for students of all areas of financial capacity to attend SHMS by awarding financial assistance in recognition of achievements, Christian service, catechetical involvement, financial need, and by providing advice about additional financing options. Through the generosity of benefactors and alumni, SHMS is able to draw from a number of resources to fit each student's particular needs and program goals.
