I might be wrong but @Hopeful, it sounds to me like you are asking about ‘outside’ scholarships from organizations, rather than the schools themselves… is that right? While there are many outside/local scholarships for college applicants, I think these are rare for kids who are looking to attend prep/boarding schools. The best known ones have been mentioned already (Bradley & Cooke scholarships).
I don’t know about outside scholarships (other than those mentioned), but some schools do offer merit and other specific awards. DS was offered a small “merit” award from a school where he was accepted, and we did not apply for financial aid. We were not aware of the availability of this type of award; it came out of the blue and I assume is just from a pool of discretionary funds. I think these types of things are school-specific, and you just have to ask during the process and check web sites for what they may offer.
@cameo43 Yes, I just wanted to know if anyone knew of any organizations offering scholarships or schools offering merit scholarships. Thanks for your comment!
you can search https://www.boardingschoolreview.com using merit scholarships as a search criterium.
