The Archwood Scholarship
A scholarship for rising 9th-grade students
Outstanding students entering 9th grade are eligible to apply for the Archwood Scholarship. The scholarship is awarded every year to a new student with a demonstrated commitment to engagement inside and outside the classroom. That engagement might take any variety of forms, such as a deep interest in one or more academic subjects, or involvement in sports, the arts, or community service.
The scholarship provides an annual award of 50% the tuition for the four years of Upper School, provided the recipient continues to live up to the values that characterize an Archwood Scholar. Those values include a passion for curiosity, an appreciation for scholarship, and a commitment to excellence.

Submit either an essay, a film, a piece of art, or a song addressing the ways in which the student demonstrates the values of an Archwood Scholar by March 10, 2023. Please submit your work by email to admissions@wakefieldschool.org or to the Wakefield Admissions Office:
