Nominate a Student

Educators, guidance counselors, and community leaders are encouraged to nominate high-achieving students for Prep for Prep or PREP 9. Our admissions process relies nominations to help identify young people with the potential to be leaders of tomorrow. We extend our deepest gratitude for your continued support and collaboration.
 
Eligibility Requirements
Prep for Prep’s application process seeks to identify students and families who would benefit most from our programming and support. The ideal applicant is a top student in 5th, 6th, or 7th grade who loves learning and is motivated to make the most of every opportunity.
To that end, applicants must:
  • score above the 90th percentile on statewide English Language Arts and Math exams,
  • average at least 90% or mostly 4s on at least the last year’s final report card,
  • demonstrate significant financial need to attend an independent school*,
  • exhibit strong character, leadership potential, and a desire to engage fully and proactively with the Prep Community and experience, and
  • be citizens or permanent residents of the United States.
*Prep for Prep considers family income, overall financial status (including assets), and each family’s individual circumstances when making admissions decisions.

You can submit a nomination form for one or multiple students at a time. Please have the student's basic biographical information and parent contact information on hand.
