Merit-Based Scholarships
Investing in Her Promise
OLP scholarships recognize young women whose achievement, leadership, faith, and commitment to the dear neighbor already reveal the difference they are ready to make.
More than an award
A merit scholarship is OLP’s investment in a student’s four-year journey—an invitation to bring her gifts into a sisterhood that will challenge her intellect, strengthen her voice, and form her as a woman of heart, faith, courage, and excellence.
Approximately 10%of the incoming ninth-grade class typically receives a merit-based scholarship.
Renewable for four yearsAwards renew annually when the student maintains strong academic and disciplinary standing.
Merit + financial aidStudents may receive a merit scholarship and need-based financial aid; one award does not affect the other.

Her scholarship pathway
There is no separate merit-scholarship application. Every candidate begins through OLP Admissions.
