The Country Day Scholars Program provides new incoming ninth grade students the opportunity to access the college preparatory curriculum offered at Sacramento Country Day High School. Designed to reach students from underserved communities, the goal of Country Day Scholars is to make our High School accessible to exceptional students with notable potential in one or more of the following areas: academics, leadership, innovation, the arts, and service to others.
Students selected as Country Day Scholars receive a guaranteed four-year high school scholarship towards tuition, textbooks, class trips, one-on-one college counseling, an SAT preparation course, and a school-issued laptop computer.
Country Day Scholars will receive the scholarship every year the student is enrolled, is in good academic and behavioral standing, and qualifies for financial assistance.
Country Day Scholars will join other high-achieving students in small classes taught by exceptional faculty. Country Day students consistently earn the highest SAT, ACT, and AP scores in the entire Sacramento region. Country Day graduates obtain admission to and receive substantial merit-based financial awards from highly selective and competitive universities and colleges across the United States and beyond.
