The Country School Announces $15,000 Merit Scholarships

In celebration of The Country School's 65th Anniversary, the Board of Trustees is offering merit scholarships to students applying for admission to Grades 4-8 for the fall of 2022.

The recipients of the merit scholarships will be selected on the basis of academic merit and personal promise as demonstrated by performance on school records, in an interview with the Head of School, and on a merit scholarship test scheduled for January 30, 2022. Finalists will also be asked to write an essay describing the benefits of a Country School education.

Merit scholarships are awarded to new students and are renewed each year the students are enrolled at The Country School, provided the recipients stay in strong academic standing and consistently demonstrate good citizenship. It is The Country School's expectation that the merit scholarship recipients will contribute significantly to the life of The Country School, creating a stronger overall experience for all students. Additional financial aid may be available based upon need.

The Country School has a decades-long history of preparing graduates for the strongest independent secondary schools and high school honors programs in the area and throughout New England. Founded in 1955, The Country School is a coeducational, independent day school serving 225 students in PreSchool through Grade 8, ages 3-14, on its 23-acre campus in Madison.
