WAIMEA — Parker School is offering two sizable scholarships for the 2017-2018 school year to be used toward tuition for five recipients.

The Kahilu Scholarship is a $3,000 grant awarded to two new students entering grade 6, and one current Parker School students rising into grade 6. These three Kahilu Scholarships will be given in recognition of a student’s academic merit, character and demonstrated passion in an area of interest to the student, such as sports, the arts, a community organization such as a church or cultural activity, or any other area that is meaningful to the student and in which their participation is notable. The Kahilu Scholarship is renewed each year of the student’s Parker School career based upon academic progress, good citizenship and upholding the school’s code of conduct. These awards may be given in conjunction with need-based financial aid.

The Richard Smart Merit Scholarship is a $5,000 grant awarded to students entering their freshmen year. A total of two grants will be given on the basis of exceptional academic merit and potential. Students applying to attend Parker School and returning Parker School students are eligible to apply. The award renews each year of the recipient’s high school career based on excellent academic progress and an exemplary disciplinary record. These awards may be given in conjunction with need-based financial aid.
