North Cross School is excited to honor diverse and driven scholars and children/grandchildren of North Cross Alumni through merit-based scholarships. These programs, initiated by generous donors, are designed to maintain and grow the high quality of our student body.
All applicants must complete the school’s admission application and/or finalize re-enrollment. The completion of an application does not constitute admission to North Cross School or receipt of scholarship. The purpose of the Founders’ Scholarship and the DeHart-Grayson Alumni Scholarship programs is to attract and retain the best and brightest students in the Roanoke Valley and to assist these students in their efforts to attend North Cross School. Qualified applicants will have and maintain a GPA of 3.5 or greater and excel in one or more extra-curricular activities. These applicants will have demonstrated good character, citizenship, strong leadership abilities, and dedication to serving the community. The Founders’ Scholarship Committee consists of the Headmaster, Middle and Upper School Division Directors, Director of Admission, a representative from the Board of Trustees, and a faculty representative from the Middle and Upper Schools. The Committee for the Alumni Scholarship is the same, however a member of our Alumni Boards is also present. Applicants must complete the Founders’ Scholarship application or the Alumni Scholarship application and provide the following supporting documentation:

Available scholarship dollars will be expended to the extent of deserving applicants. Awards are applied as a percentage of the students’ annual tuition, with a maximum of 50 percent awarded to each student. Preference for applicants will be for upper school students although exceptional middle school students may be considered. Need-based assistance can be awarded in conjunction; however, the application process is separate and the combined awards may not be greater than 85 percent of tuition. To retain eligibility for merit-based scholarships, Founders’ Scholars must continue to honorably demonstrate those ideals upon which the scholarship is based: excellence in academics, extra-curricular interests, leadership, and community service. Recipients must maintain a two-year cumulative GPA of 3.5 or better, with no individual trimester GPA of less than 3.33. A breach of the Honor Code or significant disciplinary offense will invalidate continued receipt of the award. |
