Seven Hills Scholar Awards

The Seven Hills Scholar Award Program

The Seven Hills Scholar Awards Program is designed to attract students whose academic, artistic, athletic, or leadership skills will enrich our school community.

Merit-based Scholar Awards (scholarships of $1,000 to $15,000/year) are awarded to students of extraordinary academic or personal promise and require submission of some supplemental materials. All Scholar Awards are given for a specified term. The number of Scholar Awards is limited. Each year the number of awards offered, as well as the amount and term of the award, will depend upon the strength of the application as well as on the composition of the applicant pool.  

Scholar Awards renew automatically for the term prescribed, but are contingent upon the student’s maintaining a level of academic commitment, behavior, and community involvement commensurate with the school’s expectations.  Though the awards themselves are not renewable beyond the specified term, families are welcome to apply for need-based financial aid at the expiration of the designated term of a merit-based Scholar Award. 


Scholar Awards, New Students Entering Grades 6-12

Scholar Awards are presented each year to a select group of students, new to The Seven Hills School, who show extraordinary academic, artistic, athletic, or leadership potential. Though the criteria, application process, scholarship amount, and duration vary by grade level, Merit Scholarships range from $1,000 to $15,000 and may be renewable on a case-by-case basis.

All Scholar Award candidates are required to spend a shadow day at Seven Hills.

  • Prospective families are strongly encouraged to submit a Clarity Application which is the online financial aid application to maximize the potential of the Scholar Award.


Criteria for Renewal
