Offered for the first time in
2006, each year Elgin Academy recognizes academically accomplished freshmen
with an Elgin Academy Merit Scholarship.
This award is based solely on academic achievement and faculty
recommendation. In order to qualify, students
must meet the following criteria:
- Must be enrolled
in 8th grade (Current EA 8th graders and new students
accepted for 9th Grade admission into EA are eligible).
- Have a cumulative
GPA of 3.5 or above (or in cases where GPA’s are not assigned, the admission
Office will make an assessment of academic records).
- Have a score in
the top 5% nationally on either the quantitative reasoning or verbal reasoning
section of the ERB test (both scores must be in the top 25% nationally).
- Must maintain a
cumulative 3.5 GPA to renew the scholarship after sophomore year.
