Pathways Scholarship

The Pathways to Success Scholarship Program is a program partnership with the Commonweal Foundation that assists students by awarding them scholarships to attend Ozark Adventist Academy.

The Ozark Adventist Academy boarding school environment provides Pathways students the opportunity to increase their academic skills, gain work experience, and expand their knowledge of life beyond their local communities. Although Pathways for Success is primarily a funding program, Commonweal Foundation personnel visit the students at Ozark and review academic progress and monitor participation in school employment.

Award amounts are determined on a case-by-case basis, up to a maximum of $6,500* per academic year for boarding students, or 30% of tuition and required fees for day students, and are renewable for up to four years. Funds are distributed directly to Ozark Adventist Academy. When reviewing Pathways Scholarships for renewal, Ozark Academy and the Commonweal Foundation consider student academic progress and demonstrated need.

• Are new to the boarding school experience.
