Every year we award six merit-based scholarships to the Test Innovators students who showed the most improvement on either the SSAT or the ISEE. Each scholar receives $1,000 towards tuition at their new school.
Congratulations to this year’s scholars—Iyad, Evan, Xavier, Arianna, Sebastien, and Owen—for all of your hard work and determination!
