One full seat — $650 for a fall or spring cohort, $750 for summer camp — tuition fully waived. Not a partial discount. The whole seat.
Grades 6–12 in the North Fulton / Cherokee County area, for families where tuition is the blocker. Need-aware, not need-proof: no tax returns, no hardship essays. We take your word.
One 60-second video (or about 200 written words) from the student: “Tell us about a moment you wished you’d spoken up.” A parent submits it. That’s the whole thing.
Apply once, considered for every remaining window this school year. Selection is made personally by Rhetrix’s founder and head coach. Winners are named publicly only with the family’s written consent.
If you’re not selected
Most scholarship pages go quiet here. We’d rather you know exactly what happens before you apply, so there’s never a moment where this feels like a sales funnel wearing a scholarship costume.
And the standard paths stay open to everyone, applicant or not: the $200 deposit plan splits tuition, sibling and returning-student discounts apply automatically, and sponsored seats open up as local businesses fund them.
For counselors & educators
You know which student this is for — the one with plenty to say and no room to practice saying it. Nominate them with the form below (select “Counselor or educator”), and feel free to list the scholarship on your school’s scholarship page. Here’s a listing blurb you can paste as-is:

The application
One prompt: “Tell us about a moment you wished you’d spoken up.” Record 60 seconds on a phone (unlisted YouTube or a shared Drive/iCloud link works), or write roughly 200 words. No production value expected — a hallway and a phone camera is exactly right.
