Financial Aid

School Year 2020-2021

The presence of multiple perspectives in our community and classrooms enriches the educational experience of all our lifelong learners. SAS was founded by men and women who knew the importance and power of educational accessibility. SAS honors that legacy with an ever-growing commitment to making an education at SAS accessible to a broad community of families. Toward that end, SAS has a need-based financial aid policy and fundraises for money to be used exclusively for financial aid.

All financial aid comes from solely donor support.  Available funds will vary and we do our best in getting these funds to those in need. We ask that alumni students and family remember us and donate to the school financial aid program, Helping us to help provide for others that need help to access Christian education. 

​

Need-based aid is evaluated and awarded annually, and renewal is not automatic or guaranteed, as funds available may vary and each family’s finances may change. Families must reapply for aid each year. Each family must complete the necessary paperwork by the posted deadlines and must continue to demonstrate the need for aid. Financial aid documentation must be supplied in a timely manner because awards for returning and new families are made on a first-come, first-served basis.

​

​
