Scholarship Information

For 25 years, Southwest Preparatory School has been dedicated to creating an educational program and learning environment that truly prepares students to be successful in the world. By providing a foundation of strong character development and core beliefs in addition to knowledge and skills SWPREP prepares students to be morally and academically grounded, enabling them to adjust to changes in the work world and culture.
 
We also desire to invest in the future of each student dedicated to working hard to achieve their future career goals. We want to give our students the opportunity to earn scholarship money eliminating financial barriers to college and post-high-school training. The Southwest Winners Foundation began a College and Career Scholarship Program in 2012 and has since awarded over $216,000 to students to assist our graduates with the cost of College, Trade, Tech, or Vocational schools.
 
SWPREP students enrolled in grades 6th-12th are eligible to earn $300.00 scholarship funds each semester (based on board approval of available funds). When the student enrolls in a college, university, trade, tech, or vocational school, all earned funds will be directed to the student's school of choice to pay for tuition and books. This includes students participation in the Early College High School program. A student must remain enrolled through the 12th grade, or all monies earned are forfeited.
 
A student must request funds within four years of graduating from SWPREP. The maximum amount that can be requested per semester is $1200. Southwest Prepraratory will not pay scholarships funds to any college, university, trade, tech, or vocational school that, as a part of its curriculum, has any discriminatory teachings or discriminates against any guest speakers.
