Merit Scholarships
St. Edward offers annually renewable, merit-based scholarships to students who earn superior composite scores on the High School Placement Test. Students who score in the top tenth percentile nationally automatically qualify for the following tuition reduction:
97–99 | $6,000 |
96 | $5,000 |
93–95 | $3,000 |
90–92 | $1,000 |
Merit-based scholarships are renewable each year as long as the student maintains a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.3 and a semester GPA of 3.0. A separate application is not required for Merit Scholarships, though families may still apply for need-based financial aid and other scholarships if they wish.
Test Registration
All Class of 2030 applicants are required to take the HSPT at St. Edward. However, high scores from other testing locations may be submitted for Merit Scholarship consideration if received by December 1, 2025.
Music Scholarships
St. Edward offers $1,500 annually renewable music scholarships to every member of the Class of 2030 who commits to participation in one of the school’s major ensembles: Marching Band (fall) and Symphonic Band (winter and spring), Orchestra, or Choir. To receive the scholarship, students complete an online application and take part in a brief musical assessment, which is used only to help directors place each musician in the ensemble and part where they will succeed.
