Check the one you are interested (mail or email or website) about the detail of program they offer.
And scholarship for students to apply?
Show that you are interested in the programme that needs your best subjects as prerequisite.

There are lots of scholarships online. Fastweb.com is a good place to start. Also if you are from a particular ethnic or minority group, there are specific scholarships that might apply to you (example, there are scholarships for people who speak Finish, people of Flemish descent, Prebyterians etc). You can also check out the Rotary Club in your community, as they do give grants. Also some schools give scholarships for kids from low-income households.
That being said; most scholarships are merit-based so you really gotta pull your grades up! You want to have at least a 3.5 GPA to be able to be competitive.
Hope this helps and goodluck!!

You can apply for financial aid. Some schools give out lots of aid, others do not. There are also some scholarships through different organizations for prep schools. Do some research and talk to your parents about the different possibilities.

Most boarding schools have special need scholarships.
Call all of the ones you are interested in attending and see if they can hook you up.
