St. Luke’s Episcopal School is excited to announce the establishment of two Merit Scholarships. These Merit Scholarships will provide full tuition for two rising fifth grade students who will attend St. Luke’s during their 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade years. Each four-year scholarship is worth in excess of $60,000 and is awarded without respect to need. Students already in attendance at St. Luke’s are eligible to apply.
