SVA Financial Aid
Shenandoah Valley Academy will do everything possible so that no student is turned away because of money.  However, students must do their fair share by working during the summers and during the school years.  Parents must do their fair-share based on household income and number in the household.  Churches of the student must also do their fair-share.  If all of these individuals and organizations do their fair-share to meet expenses, SVA will find the remaining financial aid, work opportunities, and/or scholarships to make it possible for any Adventist student that qualifies for admission to attend.
