New applicants to Headwaters School applying to grades 9 and 10 are invited to apply for Headwaters Promise Scholarship, awarded annually to applicants who exhibit promise in one or more of the qualities listed in Headwaters Promise Statement: We guide our students to live authentically, think expansively, and create bravely. Whether that is traditional academic prowess, excellence in performing or visual arts, entrepreneurial spirit, or strong citizenship, Headwaters values students who embody these aspirational characteristics. 

Headwaters Promise Scholarship will be awarded to qualifying applicants for the 2024-2025 school year in the amount of $5,000 each. Students are eligible for the scholarship in their first year at Headwaters only.
