Academic Scholarships

Each year, we award academic scholarships ranging from partial scholarships to one full scholarship. Academic scholarships are awarded for all four years, provided the student maintains the required criteria. They are awarded to qualified incoming freshmen based upon the student's 8th Grade Entrance & Scholarship Exam score. The student's academic record, letter of recommendation, personal interview, and desire to attend Nazareth may be taken into consideration as well. In order to be eligible for an academic scholarship, a student must take Nazareth's 8th Grade Entrance & Scholarship Exam. Please note: a separate application is not needed for our academic scholarships as any student who sits for our 8th Grade Entrance & Scholarship Exam is considered.
