Every school has different rules and criteria for accepting applications and awarding scholarships. Contact the school office at least 1 year in advance and ask for a scholarship application.

Boarding schools may offer financial aid, based on need or academics. The individual school will have specific information regarding its offerings. There are no federal or state assistance programs for elementary or secondary education. Review the schools' websites or phone to request information about financial assistance. Academic excellence is a plus.

Some are based on need and some are based on merit. You must apply and maybe interview. In any case, it's a good idea to have some community service under your belt and some reliable references who can write you letters of recommendation.

You would apply directly to the school itself. The criteria or requirements can vary, depending on the goals of the school in offering the aid. For the most part, requirements would include that the candidate bring something in the way of talent, diversity or experience.

You need to fulfill the school's requirements for the scholarships, typically these will be either hardship or merit scholarships. Talk to the admissions director or counselor to see what's available.

Generally speaking it varies depending on which boarding school you're looking at. Check up with the school's financial aid department or student support center. Usually boarding school scholarships go through the school, and not from outside organizations. Every school is different, so you have to check up with the school's website or office to find out more information.
