Named for Ursuline foundress St. Angela Merici, the prestigious Merici Academic Scholarships are awarded to 9th grade students based on exceptional performance on the TACHS or ISEE exam, and/or Ursuline's Scholarship exam, and the student's academic record.

These partial scholarships stay with the students throughout their Ursuline career provided that the student maintains an unweighted GPA of 3.50 (on a 4.0 scale).

Scholarships for incoming and rising 9th graders are awarded each year and announced in January. These privately-funded scholarships were established by generous donors and named in honor or in memory of Ursuline alumnae, sisters, or faculty. Scholarships are awarded during the admissions process, students must complete the supplemental scholarship application by the deadline. For a complete list of scholarship opportunities available to Ursuline's Class of 2029, click HERE.

TUS Grants are need-based financial awards for qualified middle and high school students, as demonstrated through the evaluation of a financial aid application by The Ursuline School Financial Aid Committee. TUS Grant awards are partial and cannot meet full demonstrated need. All applications are processed by School & Student Services. You may access more information about the financial aid process HERE.

School & Student Services evaluates the information and provides a detailed report to The Ursuline School. We then use all the information available to decide on an appropriate financial aid award. Need-based financial aid is granted at the the School's discretion, on a first come, first serve basis; applicants for ninth grade are subject to deadlines. This award is not automatically renewable from year to year. Each year you must re-submit an online application to  https://sssandtadsfa.force.com/familyportal to apply for a renewal of your award. The Ursuline School Financial Aid Committee will be able to finalize aid awards only after your file is complete. Therefore, documentation should be provided as early as possible.
