SALISBURY — Created by Salisbury Academy’s board of trustees, merit scholarships provide an additional path to making education affordable.

Upper School Head Meredith Williams said the scholarships will be awarded to “students whose personal attributes align with our graduate profile with characteristics including strong academic motivation, a desire to contribute to the community, and creativity in solving problems.”

The scholarships are renewed each year throughout the student’s career at Salisbury Academy, contingent upon their good standing.

Rising eighth and ninth grade students new to Salisbury Academy can compete for merit-based scholarships covering up to 75% of the annual tuition during the school’s Scholarship Saturday on May 6.
