Our school has recently released a new scholarship program, and they're offering full tuition awards this year!
I'm grade 11 right now, going into grade 12.
Here are the criteria for the scholarship (photos and PII redacted).:
I don't meet their 6 AP requirements, but school only lets you take 4 APs a year and in grade 10 we only were allowed to choose between 3 AP subjects offered, so I'm still going to try. I have 5 APs.
Here's the email I sent to apply for the scholarship, some sections left out for brevity:

As a current Grade 11 student, my academic record reflects consistent strong performance. My average grade for the past two academic years has been 94.2 (Grade 10) and 95.1 for the first semester of Grade 11.
In addition to my school grades, I have achieved a score of 1600 on the SAT, fulfilling the standardized test requirement for this scholarship, and have achieved 112 on the TOEFL. I have also completed AP Precalculus with a score of 5 and am currently taking four additional AP courses this year (AP Biology, AP Calculus BC, AP Physics 1, and AP Seminar). I was also honored to receive a Gold Key in the spring commencement.
Furthermore, I have actively pursued external academic opportunities to challenge myself and deepen my knowledge. My achievements include:
Earning a Gold award (top 10%) on the British Biology Olympiad.
Being accepted into and participating in the Non-Trivial online research program, a research fellowship with a $500 scholarship and an acceptance rate of less than 2%.
Being accepted into the Harvard Undergraduate Ventures-TECH Summer Program, which I will be participating in between Grade 11 and 12.
Becoming one of the 20 finalists (out of over 3,000 participants globally this year) in the International Research Olympiad, with the final round taking place this June in Harvard University.

There are 4 AP subjects that I am taking this May and whose scores will be released in July. I will update you on their scores when they are released.

I have also applied to their standardized test scholarship with the 1600 SAT score I have. The outcome of that scholarship will not affect the resolution of this market.
