Students in grades K-7 have an opportunity to apply for scholarships based on academic grades, citizenship and leadership. The application process begins in early May each year.  

The following scholarships are available:

Pamela Nollen was a St. Philip’s grandparent and a proponent of the importance of private school education and a believer in the mission of St. Philip’s Episcopal School.

The Thomas Ulmer Sumners Scholarship- A scholarship provided through the generosity of his mother, Mrs. Thomas “Pam” Bowers and other private donations in his memory.

Her influence has been felt, and continues to be acknowledged by BISD and the Beeville community.
