Merit-based scholarships are awarded to some 8th grade applicants based on exceptional academic achievement.

For the Class of 2029, the following criteria will be taken into consideration for both admission and merit-based scholarships:

• High School Placement Test scores
• 6th - 8th grade report cards
• Any available standardized test results taken in 6th - 8th grade
• Application essay written by the student

Students who submit an application to Ursuline's Class of 2029 by the December 8, 2024 deadline are automatically eligible for merit-scholarships. A separate scholarship application is not required. Applicants will receive notice of merit-based scholarship awards with their acceptance letter, as well as any financial aid offers, in January.

Transfer students and 8th graders applying after the December 8th deadline are not eligible for academic merit-based scholarships. 

Financial Aid is awarded to students from grants and endowed funds created by donor contributions. Award criteria is determined by the fund creator and varies from fund to fund.

Ursuline uses FACTS, an organization that analyzes a family’s finances, to assist in making tuition assistance decisions. Typically, we are able to meet about 75-85% of a family’s need as determined by FACTS.
