Tuition Assistance

Saturday Academy is committed to making it possible for any interested student to participate in classes and workshops regardless of his or her financial situation. Tuition assistance is available thanks to the generous support of donors and is awarded on a sliding scale based on family income and circumstances. The application is simple and confidential.

Families with an annual income of less than $36,000 are eligible for tuition assistance. Larger families and those with special circumstances but higher incomes may also be eligible. Contact our office if you have any questions about your eligibility for tuition assistance.

To request tuition assistance, simply mark the "Tuition assistance form requested" box on the registration form. We will send you an application and, if there is room in the class, we will hold the student’s place while we process your request. At this point the enrollment is pending and conditional upon your returning the tuition assistance form with payment.

Your enrollment in the class is pending until you return the tuition assistance form to us. Once we process your form we will send you confirmation that your enrollment is complete. Class information will not be sent until your enrollment is complete. Tuition assistance requests will not be accepted less than one week prior to the class. Tuition assistance is limited for Marine Campout.

Our tuition assistance program can provide a reduction in tuition of 10% - 90% based upon household income. We are unable to offer full tuition reduction for our classes.

Please apply early; our small classes fill quickly. You may apply for tuition assistance for one class per student per term (up to four classes a year).

If you decide you no longer wish to take a class after receiving your tuition assistance form, please call our office and cancel your child out of the class.
