Hero
With conservative projections, it costs more than $20,000 per student each year to operate The Welsh Academy at full capacity. This figure supports a 10-month school year and a 10 hour school day and covers the holistic educational experience we provide.
Your support makes this transformative Jesuit education possible for boys from Cleveland’s underserved neighborhoods.
"The Welsh Academy is an opportunity for encounter. Our lives are enriched when we come together with others from different backgrounds. Academy students enrich the life of Saint Ignatius High School, bringing their gifts along with new perspectives."
– Rev. Raymond P. Guiao, S.J. '82
President and Chief Mission Officer, Saint Ignatius High School

Every gift—no matter the size—helps us fulfill our mission of providing a transformative, tuition-free Jesuit education to Cleveland’s young men. Your generosity ensures that Welsh Academy students continue to learn, grow, and thrive in a community rooted in faith, service, and opportunity.
Student Sponsorship
The Welsh Academy serves the unique needs of early adolescent boys of modest economic means. Because of the generosity of benefactors to The Welsh Academy, our families receive aid for the full cost of tuition. It costs $20,000 a year to educate each boy in the Academy for a total of $60,000 over the course of their middle school years. Additionally, your financial support helps cover the annual operating costs.
Endowment
A gift to The Welsh Academy Endowment helps ensure that our mission endures for generations. Endowment support provides long-term financial stability, allowing us to offer a tuition-free, Jesuit education to more young men from Cleveland—today and into the future.
