BETHLEHEM TWP., Pa. – A new scholarship will help to bring high-achieving students to a college-preparatory school in Bethlehem Township.
Moravian Academy has announced a new Impact Scholarship that will award two incoming Upper School students full tuition to attend the school’s Merle-Smith Campus (grades 9-12) beginning in the 2026–27 academic year.
Valued at approximately $40,000 per student annually, the scholarship is designed to attract high-achieving students who demonstrate strong academic performance, leadership potential and a desire to contribute meaningfully to their school community.
Moravian Academy says the scholarship can play an important role in helping to expand access to rigorous college-preparatory education.
“We know that today’s students are eager to engage with the big issues shaping their future,” said Adrianne Finley Odell, Head of School at Moravian Academy. “The Impact Scholarship allows us to welcome students who are ready to lead, collaborate and contribute to a community that values curiosity, innovation and thoughtful leadership.”
The school says applicants must demonstrate an exemplary academic record and maintain strong academic and behavioral standing for renewal each year.
Although the scholarship is open to all new applicants who complete the admissions process, priority consideration will be given to students entering ninth grade.
In addition to the Impact Scholarship, Moravian Academy is offering a $500 referral award to any family who refers a student who goes on to enroll in the Upper School.
Founded in 1742 by Countess Benigna von Zinzendorf, Moravian Academy was joined by The Swain School in a 2020 merger.
