Merit Scholarship Program for 8th Graders Continuing into the BFS Upper School

Brooklyn Friends School awards up to three achievement scholarships to 8th graders who will be continuing into the BFS Upper School. These scholarships are worth $10,000 for each year the student is enrolled in the BFS Upper School and maintains a cumulative GPA of 3.5, with no grade below a C.

Students are eligible to apply if they have an accumulated Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.5, based on grades in each of the 4 quarters of grade 7 and the first two quarters of grade 8, and if they have been in BFS at least since 7th grade. Students and their families are informed of their eligibility to apply in early January. Students may then complete an application. A Middle School faculty committee makes award decisions by mid-February.
