<p>According to my alumnae magazine, Chatham Hall is introducing up to ten new scholarships this year under the Nilsen Scholars Program thanks to a $31 million gift from Elizabeth Beckwith Nilsen '31. </p>
<p>Nilsen Scholars will be awarded scholarships based on academic and personal merit. There is a link to a PDF of the brochure here: [Costs</a> | Chatham Hall](<a href=“http://www.chathamhall.org/admissions/financial_aid.html#scholarship]Costs”>http://www.chathamhall.org/admissions/financial_aid.html#scholarship)</p>
<p>According to the alumnae mag, they’ve added an additional 9 scholarships in recent years besides the Nilsen Scholars Program, taking advantage of the fact that they now have the largest endowment per student of any girls school. And around 50% of their students received financial aid last year.</p>
<p>Thought some CCers might be interested, especially given the current economic climate! I went to Chatham on a scholarship back in the 90’s and just loved the experience.</p>
