Reductions through Merit Scholarships
After successfully completing his first year, a cadet may be considered for one of the many merit-awards Carson Long offers. These awards function as tuition reductions for subsequent years of enrollment. Designed to offer boys the opportunity to earn rewards for positive achievement in a variety of endeavors, our merit award program is a widely valued offering, helping many cadets each year. Pennsylvania residents are eligible to apply for an EITC (Educational Improvement Tax Credit) Scholarship. Click here for the EITC scholarship application.
