Since 2014, The Best School Year Ever® scholarship contest has given extraordinary students from across North America the chance of a lifetime — to live and learn at St. Michaels University School.
Over the years, winners have left their mark as valedictorians, Head Prefects, lead performers, and national-level athletes. Each has brought their talent, drive, and passion to our community — and now it is time to welcome the next group of outstanding students.
This year, four boarding scholarships are available for students entering Grades 9 to 12 in September 2026. Two students will receive full boarding scholarships, worth up to $80,000 for the 2026–27 school year, and two more will receive finalist scholarships valued at $60,000 each.
Entering is simple. With parental permission, students answer three questions and upload their report card as part of the initial entry. Semi-finalists will then submit a short video to help our judges select the finalists.
The deadline to apply is December 1, 2025. Full contest details are available on The Best School Year Ever website.
