Scholarships at DSHA
DSHA’s commitment to scholarships first and foremost provides an outstanding Catholic, college-preparatory education to qualified students regardless of a family’s financial circumstances. Scholarship funds also help DSHA enroll the strongest student body possible — a diverse group of young women with different gifts, perspectives, and life experiences.
In the 2020–2021 school year, DSHA gave more than $1.8 million in scholarships. Thirty-eight percent of the student body received some form of financial aid, the average need-based award being $6,900.
From receiving merit-based scholarships, to need-based awards, students of a variety of backgrounds benefit because of your generosity. On behalf of the students who are given the opportunity to experience all DSHA has to offer, thank you.
On the following pages, you will read about three remarkable young women who receive scholarships in different capacities, and the life-changing experiences you have helped make possible.
