USA: Simon Rock College of Bard Acceleration to Excellence Program

Simon Rock College of Bard Acceleration to Excellence Program
Great Barrington, MA

Acceleration to Excellence Program (AEP) Scholarships are merit awards covering up to the full cost of tuition for outstanding students who apply during the 10th or 11th grade. Home-schooled students with well documented academic histories and students who have skipped grades are welcome to apply; students fitting these descriptions must be the age of the typical 10th or 11th grader.

Faculty selects recipients based on academic excellence, extracurricular distinction, personal motivation and character. By the conclusion of the 10th grade, most AEP applicants have completed at least two years each of English, mathematics (including geometry and algebra II), science, social studies, and a foreign language; applicants entering the College after the 11th grade typically have completed three or more years of each subject.

Recipients of AEP Scholarships may also apply for additional need-based financial aid and AEP applicants who do not receive the AEP Scholarship will still be considered for other forms of merit- and need-based aid.

The AEP application deadline is February 1.
