School Nominated Scholarships for International Students

The application deadlines for Fall 2023 are here. Most of the Early Decision deadlines are for November 1, 2022 and most of the Early Action deadlines are by November 15, 2022. As such students are busy putting finishing touches on their applications. With the fluctuation and subsequent strengthening of the US dollar, most students and parents are dealing with anxiety about finances.

There is an opportunity for strong students to apply for and secure scholarships. School nominated scholarships are those scholarships in which either the principal or the counselor nominates an exceptional student. If you believe that you qualify as an exceptional student, you should contact your principal or counselor and request their consideration.
