We are committed to enrolling a socio-economically diverse community, and we offer a need-based scholarship program to help make SAA a viable option. We believe that diversity, in its many dimensions, enriches the experience of our students, families, and faculty, and enhances our entire community of learners.

Scholarships

We encourage families with concerns about their ability to afford an SAA education to apply for a need-based scholarship. Currently, 40% of SAA families receive need-based scholarship funds, totaling approximately $1.5 million in aid. 

Scholarships are awarded yearly on the basis of demonstrated financial need, and are independent of admissions decisions. For those families awarded a need-based scholarship, the published tuition would be adjusted accordingly based upon the amount of the award. No repayment is required for need-based scholarships, and families need to apply annually.

An investment in an SAA education is an investment in a high-quality, differentiated learning experience, and one of the greatest gifts you can give your child.
