CSF Scholarship
Merit Award Program
The creation of the Character • Scholarship • Faith (CSF) merit-based award program is designed to put the boarding school experience within reach for families. This is primarily a merit-based award. We would like to thank David and Bridget (Adam) ’88 Van Eekeren for their foundational gift that launched the CSF Scholarship program. In addition to Bridget being a proud member of the Class of 1988, three of Bridget and David’s children; Matt ’13, Megan ’16, and Pat ’17 also benefited from the boarding experience offered by La Lumiere School.
Who is Eligible?
Incoming 9th and 10th grade Boarding Students
US citizens (or dual citizens with US being one)
Upper middle-income and high net income working families
What makes a CSF Scholar?
At La Lumiere School, we form character, cultivate scholarship, and explore faith in order to grow into more complete versions of ourselves. Our students choose La Lumiere because they want to be challenged, discover their full potential, and become the best versions of themselves. A CSF Scholar will embrace the philosophy of La Lumiere School and strive every day to be the best they can be. Specifically, a CSF Scholar will exhibit the following qualities:
A love of learning
Leadership potential
Commitment to service
Well-rounded with varied interests
Desire to contribute both inside the classroom and out
What is expected of a CSF Scholar?
Scholars will exhibit consistency and an upward trajectory in all academic endeavors. There is no minimum GPA requirement, however, all scholars are expected to demonstrate effort in achieving within the classroom.
Scholars are expected to be deeply involved in the community, sometimes leading and sometimes following another’s lead, but always striving to elevate the La Lu experience for all members of the community.
What does the CSF Scholarship Cover?
The CSF Scholarship will cover a maximum of 50% of domestic boarding tuition, room, and board. This scholarship’s total value over four years may be as much as $100,000.
