Ross and Sharon Smith Charitable Fund Scholarship
The Ross and Sharon Smith Charitable Fund Scholarship supports rising juniors and seniors at Aquinas Classical Academy who exemplify dedication, perseverance, and a commitment to excellence. Open to students who have completed both their freshman and sophomore years at ACA, this award recognizes young men and women who contribute meaningfully to our school community through their academic effort, personal character, and involvement in school life. Scholarship funds may be applied toward tuition and fees, and recipients agree to be publicly acknowledged as scholarship honorees in local news outlets.

Applicants submit a 500–750 word essay illustrating their dedication, perseverance, and commitment to excellence. Students should include examples from their academics as well as involvement in extracurricular activities. Each essay is reviewed by the ACA scholarship committee as part of the selection process for this merit-based award, which seeks to honor students who exemplify the very best of Aquinas Classical Academy and the generous legacy of Ross and Sharon Smith.

Deadline for consideration for this award for the upcoming academic year is February 17th, 2026
