High School Scholars

Enrollment for eligible staff or faculty dependents in the High School Scholars Program is a collaborative process that includes interactions with the Admissions Office, the Registrar’s Office and the Office of Human Resources.  Information about the High School Scholars Program and Business High School Scholars Program can be found on the Admissions website.

Step 1: Contact the Admissions Office

  • The staff or faculty member should register their dependent via the admissions website at https://admissions.scranton.edu/apply/hs-scholars-app-info.shtml
    • Scroll down to the “Application Requirements” tab and click on the plus sign to the right, this will open another tab for the student to officially apply by completing the online application. Student should also request an official transcript from their high school. A letter of recommendation from the school counselor will be requested by email through the application.
      • Once the electronic application is completed, the Admissions Office will determine eligibility. If eligible, the Admissions Office will create a student profile, which will include the creation of the Royal ID number.  This number will be communicated to your dependent once admitted.
      • Please contact the Office of Human Resources with the dependent’s Royal ID #.
    • Once the application is complete, the Admissions Office will build the necessary student profile which allows the Registrar’s Office to begin working with the student to register in the High School Scholars program.
