Arrupe and Ignatian Scholars:
Each year about the top ten percent of the freshman class is invited to apply for the Arrupe Scholar designation. This invitation, for a renewable merit-based scholarship, is only offered to a select number of students based on an applicant’s placement test score, grade point average, and strong academic potential. The student's academic profile is a tribute to the student's family, the student's teachers, and most importantly the student's hard work! Students who have begun their high school careers with this potential and fostered it while at Gonzaga Prep have achieved great academic success.
The limited number of Arrupe Scholars are selected by a committee of administrators and teachers. The selection is based on student test scores, student essay, and the student recommendation. Those applying, but not receiving the Arrupe Scholar designation are awarded the Ignatian Scholar designation.
