The Conway School would like to announce its early application deadline. Applications completed by December 31 will be reviewed immediately. We will begin holding interviews in January, and a group of students will be accepted early in the new year. We may also place some early applicants on a waiting list. Those applying for financial aid may do so starting January 1 and are encouraged to complete their financial aid applications by January 15.
Why Apply Early?
- Limited spots in each class. Our cozy campus holds a maximum of 18-19 students each year. The earlier you submit your application, the earlier you have a chance of being selected.
- Initial access to financial aid. Conway offers a handful of need-based grants up to $5,000 each and two Sustainability Communities Fellowships of $10,000 each. You have the best chance of receiving aid from Conway if you apply for aid by January 15. There are also outside scholarships with deadlines early in the calendar year.
- First dibs on housing. There are several great housing options within 5-10 minutes of campus, and if you get accepted early you”ll have more options.
- Peace of mind. Planning your future is a big deal, and it can be a burden. If you believe Conway is right for you, apply now and give yourself a great career option for next year!
Application Tips
- The “essay” questions on the application are meant to elicit short answers. Tell us about yourself (or better, show us) in a concise manner and don”t stress over the questions.
- Submit transcript requests and talk to references as soon as possible. It can take a little time for these to reach us, and we won”t begin to process your application until it”s complete.
- RSVP here for our Information Session on February 1. If you can”t come to Conway on that date, we”ll live stream the event and you can tune in online – we”ll even take your questions via social media and may try to include you via video chat.
- Read our catalog online (treeless!) here.
- The final deadline for applications, including financial aid, is March 15. If the class is not filled by March 15, we will accept applications after that date until the class is filled.
