GA offers three special Scholar Programs for new students who excel in specific areas and demonstrate financial need. They must complete the general admission process by December to be considered and submit the appropriate scholar information by the given deadlines.
Finalists meet with the Head of Upper School and the Head of School in late January. Deitz finalists are asked to audition or share a portfolio. One winner is named for each Scholar Program in early February.
The grant is renewable each year with the understanding that the recipient maintains at least a B- average, demonstrates good citizenship and fulfills the requirements of the Scholar Program.
