Suppose I'm a Fighter with the Shield Master feat.

 

Can I apply my shield's armor bonus to my Dexterity save to avoid being knocked prone by the Monk's Open Hand Technique?

I'm reasonably sure that yes you can.  If I recall correctly, Open Hand Technique (trip) is a Dexterity saving throw from an effect that targets only you.
