Charlton Loan and Scholarship Program (CLASP)
The Charlton School endows a Scholarship program designed
to further the higher educational goals of our students.
The Charlton Loan and Scholarship Program - "CLASP",
provides scholarships and interest-free loans to former students
who demonstrate a desire and ability to pursue a post-secondary
education. All girls who successfully complete the Charlton
Program are eligible for this assistance.
PURPOSE
The C.L.A.S.P. program is designed to facilitate and encourage
students to strive for self-improvement during their placement
at the Charlton School and after discharge by providing financial
aid, in the form of grants, scholarships and no-interest
loans, to students who demonstrate a motivation and an ability
to seriously pursue a post-secondary education.
Post-secondary education is seen as any academic or vocational
training, after high school graduation, which leads to a
degree, a certificate or a trade that the student can use
to further her professional career and to become a productive
citizen and successful adult. The institution that the student
chooses must be eligible for Federal financial assistance.
ELIGIBILITY
A student who is successfully involved in or has successfully
completed the Charlton School program is eligible to apply
for financial assistance through C.L.A.S.P. She also must
have applied to and been accepted by a post-secondary program
of study or be currently enrolled and provide a transcript
of her most recent grades.
APPLICATION
A student should apply for support from C.L.A.S.P. through
the Executive Director of the Charlton School. The Executive
Director will evaluate the application and send it with his/her
recommendation to a member of the Executive Committee. That
member will present the application at the next Executive
Committee meeting. That presentation will include significant
history and a summary of current grades, course of study,
and personal information included in the application form
or letter accompanying the application. A student must apply
for aid each new term.
The disposition of the request including the type and the
amount of the financial support is the sole responsibility
of the Executive Committee who will take individual circumstances
and other available financial resources of the student into
consideration in their decision. The Committee will also
review and revise the application form annually.
FUNDING
Funding for the program will come from available funds in
the C.L.A.S.P. Fund. Individuals and corporation gifts may
be specifically designated to support this important academic
program.
