Villa Maria’s Academic Scholarships are merit-based. To qualify as an Academic Scholarship candidate, applicants typically must score in the 98th percentile or above on our Entrance-Scholarship Exam and demonstrate strong academic achievement in the classroom. Applicants are notified if they are scholarship candidates when they receive the results of the Entrance-Scholarship Exam. Scholarship candidates are then asked to schedule an interview with the Admissions Office.
