Cranbrook alumni living in the Chicago area sponsored a scholarship in appreciation of how their Cranbrook experience has enriched their lives. Two new boarding students will be selected to receive scholarships on the basis of excellent academic performance, testing, recommendations, special talents, and personal qualities. The top applicant will receive a $20,000 scholarship, and runners up will be awarded a $7,500 scholarship. Recipients will continue to be given the Cranbrook Chicago Alumni Scholarship every year until graduation from Cranbrook Schools.

Students who wish to be considered for this scholarship must first apply to Cranbrook Schools.  This process requires the following steps:

-     Complete the application form and the student questionnaire
-     Request transcripts and teacher recommendations from your current school
-     Take an admission test, either the CTP or SSAT
-     Come to campus for a tour and interview

The Cranbrook Schools Admissions Office must receive all parts of a student's application by TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2010, for priority consideration.  Recipients of the scholarship will be notified by Monday, March 8, 2010.
