If you are a sixth grade student, or your child is, the Oliver Scholars program offers you the opportunity to continue your studies at a prestigious private school, completely free.
Mark Hall, head of admissions at Oliver Scholars, explains that each student must apply or nominate themselves for a place before entering seventh grade. However, it is not a scholarship for everyone, but for students who truly excel in their academic responsibilities.
Students born in the United States, as well as Hispanics, young people of color and low-income students, can qualify for the benefit, regardless of the school you come from.
There are a total of 75 places available and applications will be open until January 14, 2024.
“It’s super competitive. Many of our kids have scores in the 90s and above in school and scored 600 or higher on state tests,” noted Mark Hall.
