At Annie Wright Schools, we strive to foster a dynamic and engaging learning environment, and we do this in part by assembling a class of students who each bring distinct curiosities and interests. To achieve this goal, and thanks to the generosity of our donors, we offer merit scholarships ranging from $2,500 to $10,000* to deserving local students entering Grade 9.
Our merit scholarship program, then, is not just about recognizing academic prowess–though we do expect our winners to be strong students–or a laundry list of extracurricular activities; it is about discovering the unique qualities, perspectives, and interests that a student will bring to our community. We want a class where each individual adds their distinctive thread to the rich tapestry of our community–in short, rather than searching only for "well-rounded" students, we seek out lopsided students who are deeply curious about, and invested in, something. And so we ask: “What is Your Thing?”

*These scholarships are renewable for four years contingent on a student maintaining good social standing and at least a 3.0 GPA. While merit scholarships are currently only available for day students, we offer need-based aid at all grade levels, boarding and day, to help provide access to families.
¤As members of the WIAA we do not provide merit-based scholarships based on athletics.
