Standard scholarships of up to $8,000 per student annually are available, with awards up to $25,000 per year for students with qualifying special needs. Funds are paid directly to the school.
Applications are accepted January 15 through April 15 each year. Awards are based on financial need, academic standing, and personal statement. Scholarships are non-renewable and must be reapplied for each year.
