Endowed Scholarship Funds

At Berwick Academy, we believe that access to an exceptional education should never come down to finances alone. Thanks to the vision and generosity of our community, a number of endowed scholarship funds help ensure that deserving students can thrive on the Hilltop—today and for generations to come.

These funds honor the legacy of individuals, families, and values that have shaped Berwick’s history. Whether supporting financial aid, academic excellence, or student leadership, each fund tells a story of opportunity and impact.
Berwick Academy seeks to admit qualified students who will add to the diversity of our community. In the administration of our admissions and financial aid programs, each applicant receives equal consideration and we do not discriminate on the basis of race, ancestry, color, religion, sex, age, sexual orientation, national origin, medical condition, disability, or any other basis protected by law.
