Ranney School Launches Academic Merit Scholarship Program
Ranney School is pleased to announce the launch of the first annual RANNEY SCHOLARS program during its 2017-18 admission season. Academically talented students entering 6th and 9th grades during the 2018-2019 school-year are encouraged to apply for a merit-based academic scholarship by completing the admissions process and submitting a scholarship proposal before January 15, 2018. Interested students are encouraged to attend Ranney’s Open House on Saturday, October 21, during which time additional details will be provided.
The RANNEY SCHOLARS program aims to recognize the academic accomplishments of students who are both new to Ranney School and who are currently enrolled. Scholarships, to range from $2,500 to $10,000, will be awarded upon review of students’ scholarship application, academic achievements, and standardized test scores. The RANNEY SCHOLARS program complements Ranney School’s existing need-based financial aid program. Students awarded a merit scholarship may also apply for need-based financial aid.
“Our goal is to make the extraordinary education and resources available at Ranney accessible to families in the area whose children have untapped potential,” says Head of School Dr. John W. Griffith. “With expert teachers, small class sizes, award-winning arts programs, unique athletic offerings such as fencing, crew, and sailing, Ranney students have the opportunity to pursue individualized, rigorous academics while also exploring all of their extracurricular passions. It is our hope that this scholarship program may provide the extra opportunity students need to discover and reach their full potential.”
Ranney School is the only Age 3 through Grade 12 independent, college-preparatory, day school serving Monmouth and Ocean Counties. Ranney students benefit from an innovative curriculum, robust student life programs, and a nurturing learning community, where every student is known and valued.
