grammar school students in the New Orleans metropolitan area and to
challenge them with a rigorous college preparatory curriculum. The

All applicants must be
entering the eighth or ninth grade and are required to take
the placement test. There is only one opportunity for the
test and students taking the make-up test will not be able
to qualify.
On the basis of placement test scores, the school’s
Scholarship Committee, headed by the principal, considers
students who potentially qualify for the scholarships.
Previous school records and recommendations from principals
are sought.
In general, the scholarship awards go to students with the
highest placement test scores (90 percentile minimum) who
meet the criteria for the award. The school has no limit on
the number of grants available for distribution.
All scholarshipsare renewable on an annual basis provided
the recipient maintains his GPA and performance criteria. |
