PWS Scholarships
Supporting the goal of Accessible Education at PWS.
From the beginning of Waldorf education, Rudolf Steiner envisioned that foundational and sustaining gifts from business and philanthropists would help to make a Waldorf education accessible to a wide range of potential students. We at PWS are so grateful to be the recipients of generous gifts from foundations and individuals that enable the school to keep Waldorf education accessible to more students.
The Emil Molt Scholarship
The Emil Molt Scholarship is to eligible students in grades 7- 12 to begin or sustain their enrollment at PWS through the completion of 12th grade. The fund offers partial and full scholarships to selected scholars up to a maximum of $5,000 per year in middle school and up to a maximum of $6,000 per year in high school. Scholarship awards may be combined with tuition assistance offers from the school to reduce financial hurdles for families. The Molt Scholarship is not limited to students who qualify for tuition assistance. Middle school students will be funded for grades seven and eight and may be eligible to re-apply for the high school scholarship before they enroll in grade nine. High school students will be funded over 4 years through the completion of high school.
PWS Scholarship for Equity, Inclusion, & Diversity
The PWS Scholarship for Equity, Inclusion, and Diversity supports Waldorf education for current and new students from the Black community and other communities of color. The scholarship is open to any student who would also qualify for enrollment and Tuition Assistance at PWS. The scholarship is meant to help cover costs above the qualified Tuition Assistance award in order to help retain current students and welcome new students into the community. The current term of the scholarship is for one year, with the aim of funding more years and scholarships as they become available. The school may award up to five scholarships, spread between re-enrolling and new students.
