  • Wallace Scholarship

    The Dr. Edward and Elizabeth Wallace Scholarship is awarded to one sixth grader in overall good standing for his or her three-year Middle School tenure. This scholarship of $6,000 per academic year is available to a student who demonstrates a passion for learning and discovery and whose family demonstrates substantial financial need.
