Merit Scholarships


Attending Key School is a big decision, one that will positively impact your student’s entire future. We also understand it’s a significant financial investment for families. To ensure Key's top-tier education is accessible to all mission-appropriate students, Key offers both need-based financial aid and merit scholarships to actively recruit talented students who demonstrate extraordinary academic, athletic, artistic, and/or leadership promise.

Merit scholarships are available to new applicants to grades 6-12 and current students entering 9th grade. Awards range from $2,000 to $12,000. Students eligible for financial aid can receive a combination of merit and financial aid. These scholarships are not loans—they never have to be repaid.
