​Merit Scholarships

​​School on the Rise is pleased to offer merit-based scholarships in several areas. The awards range in value, with the greatest covering half of a tuition ($6300). Additional need-based tuition assistance may be available.
 
Each scholarship is for one year only; students need to re-apply each year in order to keep their scholarship. We welcome applications at any time; however, applications received by March 15 will be given top priority, and those received by May 15 will be given next highest priority.
 
To apply for a scholarship, send an email to hello@schoolontherise.com and we will send you the application guidelines. After reviewing your application, a conversation between a teacher, the student and at least one parent will be scheduled at School on the Rise. We hope that this will be the beginning of a fulfilling relationship between our school community and your family!
