Scholarship Benefits

Who Can Apply?
Students who are entering the 9th grade with a grade point average of 3.0 (letter grade B) and meet the scholarship's economic needs guidelines.
Selection Process
The scholarship will be awarded based on merit (components: student essays, letters of recommendation, a student introduction, and Parent Information Form) and financial need.
- The scholarship committee will rate all required components on applications.
- Before final selection, candidates will be interviewed by phone or Skype.
- Scholarship recipients can expect to be notified in August of 2021. Students receiving a scholarship and their parent/guardian must complete a form agreeing to the terms of the scholarship program.
- After final scholarship acceptances are completed and agreement forms signed, applicants who were not selected will receive e-mail notifications.
Scholarship Renewal
Our goal is to renew scholarships for all four years of high school for the awarded students. Annual scholarship renewal will depend on the student's engagement and academic progress, and will be determined each May. To be eligible for renewal, students must meet the following criteria:
- Maintain at least a 3.0 GPA
- Maintain course pacing requirements, completing courses on time without extensions
- Meet attendance requirements as identified in the Student Parent Handbook
- Participate in all mentoring meetings and activities unless excused by the mentor
