The St. Stephen’s Episcopal School-Houston recently offered tuition grants for deserving middle schoolers in the city. The school brags a “deep and wide” curriculum within its diverse courses involving STEM. 

St. Stephen’s Episcopal School-Houston Tuition Grants

Those who may be interested in studying in an Episcopal school like the St. Stephen’s Episcopal School in Houston are now invited by the institution to apply for their tuition grants. All middle schoolers from 6th to 8th grade can register their names in the school to be approved by the board of trustees, as per a report on the Outsmart Magazine website. 

According to the SSESH rector and board president Rev. Lisa Hunt, the grant program is ‘Middle School Years.’ As explained, the tuition grants came from the decision of the school’s board of trustees to give ‘full support’ to students who they see fit for the application. 

Unfortunately, there were no further details on the perks of the tuition grants. But, Reverend Hunt reiterated that the school has a “strong commitment” to support community students and make the program accessible for everyone in the city. 

As also reported, the school aims to find ‘motivated and interested’ students to learn more about STEM courses, including robotics and applied engineering. Those who may not be interested in those may still apply for other available art courses like filmmaking, photography, theatre, and vocal and instrumental performances. 

As promoted, St. Stephen’s “will meet you where you are on your academic journey and guide you through honors-level courses to high school.” 

How to Apply? 

Interested parents with children living nearby Houston, Texas, are advised by the religious school to go to their website for full instructions on how to apply for the program. Here’s the summarization of the said steps, based on their website: 

• Online application - Students must comply with the online application of the aspiring St. Stephen’s middle schoolers.
