Impact Scholar

We are pleased to announce our new IMPACT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM for STEAM & GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP.

This scholarship provides up to 50% of tuition for students who are inspired to dive deeply into STEAM learning and/or Global Citizenship and are passionate about making a positive impact in local, regional, and global communities. We are thrilled to share that thanks to a group of generous donors this IMPACT scholarship program is in line with our long-term goal of making The Spring Hill School as accessible to as many qualified students as possible.

Our global curriculum prepares students to become change-makers, and we know that promising future leaders come from a range of backgrounds and hold diverse identities. Rooted in our core values, The Unique Potential of Each Child, Academic Excellence, Experiential Learning, Community & Diversity, Sustainability, and Global Engagement, we are committed to serving our local community by equipping as many talented students as possible with a transformative Spring Hill education.

Our IMPACT STEAM & GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP SCHOLARS come locally from Petaluma and, more broadly, from our surrounding North Bay community. This scholarship is available to Upper Elementary and Middle School students (grades 3-8).

Elementary and middle school students who demonstrate exceptional academic potential, leadership qualities, and are particularly passionate about STEAM learning and/or Global Citizenship are welcome to apply. Girls, gender-expansive students, and students holding historically marginalized identities are especially encouraged to apply.

The Impact Scholarship is a 50% academic scholarship. Although not a need based scholarship, families are required to file the financial aid application. This comprehensive scholarship applies to tuition. The scholarships are renewable each year until graduation.
