Sysport School is committed to making our unique educational experience accessible to talented student-athletes regardless of financial circumstances. We offer a range of financial aid options and scholarships to help families manage the cost of attendance.

Our need-based financial aid program considers each family's financial situation to determine an appropriate aid package. We use a third-party service to analyze financial information and ensure fair and consistent assessment of need.

Merit scholarships recognize exceptional academic achievement, leadership qualities, and community involvement. These scholarships are awarded to students who demonstrate outstanding potential both in and out of the classroom.

A limited number of athletic scholarships are available for students who demonstrate exceptional talent and potential in their sport. These scholarships are highly competitive and are awarded based on athletic assessment and coach recommendations.

We encourage all families who may need financial assistance to apply. Financial aid decisions are made separately from admissions decisions, and applying for aid does not affect a student's chances of acceptance.
