To apply for BLOCS you must complete the FACTS application.
Merit Based Scholarships
Each year, we award hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships as an investment in our students. These academic scholarships are awarded as a result of the Presidential Scholarship & Entrance Test which takes place in October of your 8th grade year. Each year, the profile of the scholarship recipients varies based on the successes of the applicant pool and scholarship ammounts are tiered into three scholarships based on performance in the test, classroom grades, and school involvement. The scholarships are: The Presidential Scholarship, The Principal's Scholarship, and the In Vite Mane Scholarship. Unless otherwise noted, scholarships are awarded for four years. A FACTS application is required before any awards (merit or need based) will be granted. Apply now at www.arhs.me/FACTS.
