Emerging Scholars

Emerging Scholars Program

Each year, the Calvary Day School Emerging Scholars Program provides achievement-based scholarships awarded to students from 6th - 12th grade. This highly selective program utilizes Calvary to provide an academically excellent, Christ-centered education through the development of the total student: spiritually, academically, socially, and physically. Calvary is committed to partnering with families to develop our students into self-confident leaders who know who they are. Upon graduation, we desire for each of our graduates to be a light on college campuses across the world and carry that light into their professional environments beyond that.

The Emerging Scholars Program proudly supports 6th - 12th grade students by awarding multiple scholarships annually. Students are recognized for their capacity to lead and serve and their commitment to making a significant impact on their schools and communities. The program seeks those with a strong academic background while demonstrating the ability and desire to be a servant leader. Emerging Scholars will be selected each year to receive these scholarships.

The Calvary Scholars Foundation is committed to aiding as many students as we can. However, due to the large number of applications and our limited resources, we are able to award only a small percentage of students scholarships.

Please note the deadlines and eligibility requirements found on the application and requirements page. We wish all students the best as they endeavor to continue their education.
