The Admissions Department at St. Agnes Academy-St. Dominic School is offering scholarships in the amount of $3,000 for NEW students entering grades 5-8. Made possible by the generosity of donors to the General Scholarship Fund, these merit-based scholarships are awarded to girls and boys who have distinguished themselves as outstanding scholars and have displayed excellent citizenship and leadership.
