Community Campus Scholarship
Each year we offer one full-tuition scholarship to a New Milford, CT student who reflects the core qualities of an EWOW learner—curiosity, self-direction, resilience, and a desire to engage deeply with learning and community. Students from all educational backgrounds are welcome to apply, including public school, private school, and homeschooled students.
Scholarship Criteria
This is a merit-based scholarship, though not in the traditional sense.
We do not only look at grades, we are looking for students who show:
-
Curiosity – asks questions, seeks deeper understanding
-
Engagement – shows interest in the world beyond the classroom
-
Self-direction – a willingness to take ownership of their learning
-
Resilience – the ability to navigate challenges and continue forward
-
Authenticity – a strong sense of self, or a desire to discover it
Academic history may be considered, but is not the primary factor.
Applicants must:
-
Be a resident of New Milford, CT
-
Be entering grades 8–12
-
Demonstrate alignment with EWOW’s learning model and values
-
Maintain good academic standing for the duration of the year.
