Academic Scholarships

Academic Scholarships are based on overall GPA, and SAT or ACT scores. If you take the SAT or ACT more than one time the Admissions Team will take the higher score into consideration. Scholarship decisions are mailed with Acceptance Packets in the form of a letter. Click here to find out if you qualify for an Academic Scholarship.

Art and music applicants will be eligible for art or music talent scholarships if their application and portfolio review or audition are both complete or postmarked by February 1st.
