Taylor Scholars Awards Program FAQs
How do students qualify?
Students in grades 6-12 at participating schools who earn a 2.5 GPA or greater are eligible to receive a Taylor Scholar Awards Certificate. Schools issue the certificates to qualifying students near the end of each school year.
How do I use my Taylor Scholars award?
Bring your Taylor Scholars Admission Pass, which is valid for visits during the months of January, February and August, and check in with the Member Services team. Please present your pass and your student ID. The Taylor Scholars Admission pass is good for the named student plus an accompanying parent or other adult. Only one pass may be used per day per student.
Can I use my Taylor Scholars admission pass in other months?
If Taylor Students and their families would like to visit outside the months of August, January, and February, we do offer a full-year Membership at a discounted rate. Please call or speak with our Membership team for more details.
