If you are considering applying for financial aid, here are some things to know:

• Financial aid awards are primarily need-based.
• Financial aid awards are given for one year and must be renewed each subsequent year.
• Financial aid decisions are made independently from admissions decisions.
• Every family is eligible to apply for financial aid.

At SHC, we grant two types of four-year, merit-based scholarships to students entering the 9th grade who have shown exceptional academic and cocurricular achievement. We evaluate students for these scholarships based on admissions applications (there are no separate applications for these scholarships), and we notify students receiving scholarships with their acceptance. Scholarships will automatically renew every year as long as students maintain required academic and behavioral expectations.

Regents Scholarships

Regents Scholarships are for students with superior performance on elementary school standardized tests and the High School Placement Test (HSPT), and demonstrated leadership at the grammar school level. Regents Scholarship recipients must be accepted into SHC’s De Paul Scholar Program or Inquiry & Innovation Program, though not all invitees to these programs receive Regents Scholarships.

President’s Scholarships

A limited number of President’s Scholarships are reserved for top applicants that fall outside the strict academic parameters of the De Paul Scholar Program and Inquiry & Innovation Progam and possess exemplary personal qualities consistent with the mission of SHC. President’s Scholarship recipients have a solid record of academic achievement and demonstrate leadership skills necessary to make a dramatic impact on student life at SHC.
