ANNUAL GIFT SCHOLARSHIPS

Annual gift scholarship funds are given each year and are not maintained by principal or earnings, therefore, the number of scholarships that the school can award annually varies depending on donor contributions. The annual scholarships provided by these gifts help to ensure education opportunities for students enrolled at Pinecrest Academy. Full and/or partial scholarships are currently awarded to eligible students. Criteria for each scholarship, is listed below. Unless the scholarship is a merit-based scholarship, families must apply and demonstrate the need for financial assistance (see website tab ‘admissions/tuition assistance'). Scholarships are not applied for by students or their families, but are awarded by the scholarship committee based on the nomination of Pinecrest Academy faculty and/or staff members.
