Walsh Scholarships

Archbishop Walsh is committed to a quality, value-based Catholic education. As such, we will never allow money to be a determining factor in admission. With the help of local parishes, Foundations, the Diocese of Buffalo, and many local businesses, we are able to offer generous financial aid packages, work-study programs, and scholarship opportunities to make the Walsh experience available to all families. To apply for scholarships, or for more information regarding scholarship eligibility, please contact the school. Please keep in mind that students can be eligible for more than one scholarship.
