• IB Merit Scholarship for Freshmen

  There is a space within the online application to indicate your interest in the merit scholarship process. For students applying for the merit scholarship, the scholarship test will serve as their admission test. The merit scholarship test includes an ability section and three achievement sections (OLSAT and Stanford) along with a writing sample. Merit scholarship testing is offered on the same dates noted above for the standard admission test. Information regarding merit scholarship awards is communicated with the acceptance information sent in March. Students applying for the scholarship, along with a parent, are requested to attend one of the IB Diploma Programme Information Sessions. Campus visits are strongly encouraged for students applying for merit scholarships. Students also have the opportunity to submit a video to be included in the merit scholarship review process. Guidelines for the video submission are provided after a student submits an application and has indicated interest in the scholarship process within the application.
