<p>do any prep schools offer scholarship opportunities? Because my parents have decided that no amount of financial aid will be sufficient unless it is a complete scholarship. My averages are all nintey fives and above, i take two languages and have taken full advantage of all extra curriculars my high school has to offer. any suggestions?</p>
<p>Very few schools give merit aid. Emma Willard comes to mind as one who does. You can search on boardingschoolreview.com for schools offering merit aid to narrow it down. If your parent’s income is low enough, a full grant my be viable, depending on your stats. hsmomstef had a recent post that was very helpful about where to apply if you need FA. It was in the last week or so. Hope this helps. I don’t know what grade you’re applying for. It is my understanding that the already stiff competition gets even stiffer after tenth grade.</p>
<p>Other schools with merit scholarships: Taft, St. Pauls, Mercersburg, Miss Porters and Peddie.</p>
<p>Some schools will give complete financial aid scholarships. At Andover, for example, 11% of this years admitted students received full financial aid. But, as stated above, hsmomstef’s post on financial aid was a great summation. I think this was it:</p>

<p>Just a note, some schools offer merit scholarships that are not listed on boarding school review as having them.</p>
