Merit Scholarships

Merit scholarships are available to students based on an exceptionally strong academic record, substantial extra-curricular involvement, and community service. Size and scope of the applicant pool are also taken into consideration. The amount and terms of the scholarships vary. Need is not a factor. Candidates are selected by the Admissions Committee, and no separate application is required. Grant assistance may also be available to help with the costs of a Nazareth education.
