Cardin Scholars Program

Details of the new Cardin Scholars Program were revealed at our Open House on October 31st.  For those unable to attend the Open House here is a description of the program:

The Shoshana S. Cardin School is a co-educational college-preparatory school for grades 9 through 12 that pursues the rigorous integration of Judaic and general studies and achieves excellence in both. Guided and informed by Torah, the School transcends denominational affiliations. As members of a pluralistic school, students and faculty who vary in philosophy, theology, and ritual expression participate fully in an environment that fosters respect, acknowledges differences, and encourages growth. The School’s dynamic learning community inspires its graduates to engage in life-long learning, to fulfill their responsibilities as Americans, and to be committed members of the Jewish people.

The Shoshana S. Cardin Scholars Program recognizes highly motivated students who exemplify the mission of the School and who demonstrate a desire to learn, talent in a particular discipline, leadership potential, and commitment to activities beyond the classroom.

Cardin Scholars will work with a specialist in their discipline throughout their four years at Cardin, and will meet several times throughout the year for additional enrichment opportunities.

Up to ten incoming students for the class of 2015 will be granted scholarship awards of up to 80% of tuition for four (4) years, to be applied against school tuition upon enrollment in 2011-2012. Scholarship recipients are also eligible to receive financial aid in accordance with the tuition assistance criteria.
