[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Catholic High Schools in DC metro offer merit scholarships. The most you can get is $12,000 over 4 years ($3,000 per year) and these are called "Presidential Scholarships." I did not know about this until DS was awarded the scholarship upon receiving our acceptance. You cannot apply for the scholarship. They are awarded by through the admissions process based on grades, test scores, etc.[/quote] Thanks for posting -- I was wondering about this! Based on your experience, would you mind sharing what GPA/Test Scores might place a student in the running?[/quote] DS took HSPT and got 99%. His GPA in 8th grade was 3.8. He applied to two schools and was offered the scholarship at only one. The other school also gives these scholarships, but I imagine he did not get it because competition is much stiffer in that school. [/quote]
