Presidential Scholarship Award

Awarded during the admissions process to students with exemplary academics and a strong commitment to the community.

No published HSPT cutoff: O’Dowd requires incoming ninth-grade applicants to take the HSPT, but the current scholarship information does not state a qualifying score, percentile, award amount, or renewal formula for the Presidential Scholarship. Families should ask admissions directly rather than relying on an unofficial threshold.

Three financial-aid paths

School financial aidNeed-based aid uses the FACTS financial aid application. An admissions application is also required.
FACEEligible families can select FACE in the FACTS application; the school says no separate FACE application is required.
Bay ScholarsEligible families apply separately through Bay Scholars.

What to do next

  1. Submit the admissions application and FACTS aid application on separate timelines.
  2. Check FACE eligibility before completing FACTS so the correct organization is selected.
  3. Apply separately to Bay Scholars if eligible.
  4. Ask whether the Presidential Scholarship has an unpublished HSPT consideration, award amount, and renewal conditions.
  5. Confirm the next cycle’s dates because the published 2026–27 incoming deadline has passed.
