High School Scholars Program

Every year Moravian Academy has the opportunity to nominate a very limited number of highly motivated, academically gifted students to take college courses during their senior year. Preference is given to students who have exhausted the academic offerings at Moravian Academy and completed the most challenging courses in a specific discipline. In recent years students have taken advanced mathematics (calculus 3; differential equations), advanced levels of foreign language (French, Spanish) and courses in the fine arts (dance, theater arts, studio art, art history, music).  Students receive college credit for the course, along with a scholarship to cover the tuition; however, students are responsible for their transportation to and from the college and book fees, as well as other fees associated with the course.  Sometimes it is not possible to schedule the college course around the senior courses at Moravian Academy.  If a scheduling problem occurs, students must choose from the available options; there is no guarantee that all requests can be met.  Moravian Academy students have attended the following institutions:  De Sales University, Lafayette College , Lehigh University , Moravian College .

Interested students are required to submit an application letter to Mr. Chandler.  The Scholars Committee will evaluate all requests and those students who qualify will be notified.  Those students who are not named High School Scholars might wish to pursue college courses, but they have to assume all tuition and other expenses.
