These awards help reduce barriers for multilingual learners, newcomers, refugee students, and global families seeking a rigorous, culturally responsive academic experience.

Scholarships are available for eligible students across multiple programs and are awarded through a transparent, compassionate review process.

Relationship to the Refugee Access Tier

The Refugee Access Tier provides full tuition coverage for eligible refugee and newcomer students. Scholarships differ in that they provide partial tuition assistance for families who do not qualify for full coverage but still require financial support.

Both pathways reflect our nonprofit commitment to educational equity.
