Wisconsin—Pathways to Success, a division of the Commonweal Foundation based in Silver Springs, Md., has just granted Wisconsin Academy (WA) over $95,000 in student scholarships. Twenty-two students are receiving scholarships and most are receiving the maximum scholarship a student can receive.

“Pathways to Success has been such a blessing to us this year. There is no way that these students could be here without this program,” stated Delcy Gillen, WA accountant.

Pathways to Success is a scholarship program that offers funding of up to $4,745 per year to students who are experiencing boarding school for the first time. To qualify to be part of this new exciting program, you must be a first-time boarding school student in grades 9–12 and have a family income at or below 250 percent of the federal poverty level.

Considering that over 50 percent of WA students receive some level of financial assistance, this program is extremely beneficial to many incoming students and students who might not have been able to attend otherwise.

“The faculty and staff are extremely excited, not to mention honored, to have this program move onto the WA campus,” says Derral Reeve, principal. “Now more students have the opportunity to enjoy the WA experience that has been shared by so many before them!”
