Merit Scholarships

Merit Scholarships at Holy Child recognize students entering Grade 9 who exemplify strong character, academic excellence, intellectual curiosity, and leadership potential. These scholarships are awarded to young women who have demonstrated exceptional promise as scholars and engaged citizens, and who are eager to make meaningful contributions to the Holy Child community.

We offer two levels of Merit Scholarships for rising ninth-grade students:

GRYPHON SCHOLARSHIP

The Gryphon Scholarship is awarded to students who score highly on their entrance exam (TACHS, ISEE, or SSAT) and have a strong academic record throughout middle school.

  • All eligible applicants are automatically considered—no separate application is required.

CONNELLY SCHOLARSHIP
Award: Up to $20,000 per year for all four years of Upper School

The Connelly Scholarship is awarded to a select group of top-performing applicants who distinguish themselves through exceptional entrance exam scores and sustained academic achievement.
