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
Students who take the HSPT at another school can still be considered for Merit Scholarships if their scores are submitted to St. Edward by December 1, 2025.
Music Scholarships
St. Edward offers $1,500 annually renewable music scholarships to any Class of 2030 student who commits to participation in one of the following ensembles:
- Marching Band (fall) and Symphonic Band (winter and spring) - Both groups rehearse after school.
- Orchestra - Orchestra meets all year as a class period, as well as rehearses before school twice per week.
- Choir - Choir meets all year as a class period, as well as rehearses after school twice per week.
In order to qualify, eighth graders must schedule a brief musical assessment that helps directors match each musician with the part and ensemble where they will succeed. Applicants should bring their instrument or voice and be prepared for scales, sight-reading, and a three-minute solo. The link to schedule an appointment will be available on October 1, 2025.
Ohio Department of Education Scholarships
We're excited to share that state scholarships are now available to all families! While students may only receive one scholarship from the Ohio Department of Education, these can be combined with need-based financial aid, St. Edward scholarships, and third-party scholarships.
Please note, students must first be accepted to St. Edward High School before submitting scholarship paperwork to the Ohio Department of Education in the spring of 2026.
