GUIDELINES FOR FINANCIAL AID PROGRAM
[pic]
Students entering grades 9 - 12 are eligible to apply for need-based tuition assistance.
Scholarships are awarded to a limited number of students qualifying in all of the following criteria:
1. Financial need
2. Scholastic achievement (GPA of 3.0 or above)
3. Exemplary character and leadership
4. School and community involvement
Students who fall short of meeting the scholastic requirements but have a demonstrated need will be awarded financial assistance in the form of work-study grants. The student's academic and citizenship records will be considered, as well as her record of service if she has participated in the Work-Study Program. Priority will be given to low-income families and to students with good records.
GENERAL INFORMATION:
A student who receives tuition assistance is not allowed to participate in school-sponsored trips outside of the United States unless she relinquishes her tuition award and repays the amount of aid already received that year. Recipients of tuition assistance may not be on academic or disciplinary probation. Should a student incur an academic or disciplinary probation, the student may not be eligible for tuition assistance in the following school year.
