Shenandoah Valley Academy

Financial Aid

Several types of financial aid are available to SVA students based on academic qualifications and financial need.  If applying for financial aid, SVA requires the parents to complete an FACTS Tuition Aid application at  https://www.factstuitionaid.com/facts/gaapp.  

Applicants for financial aid are also required to submit standardized test scores, such as SSAT, ITBS, PSAT, PLAN, or scores from other standardized exams.  Copies of scores from these exams should be sent to the Director of Admissions at SVA.

The following types of financial aid may be available to SVA students:

Church Matching Aid (up to $3,000 per year)
Students may apply to their church for a two-way matching scholarship of up to $3,000; one-half paid by the church and one-half paid by SVA.  Applications available at SVA.  Renewable.

 

Pathways to Success Scholarships (up to $4,745 per year)
This student aid is administered by the Commonweal Foundation in Maryland.  Students from families with an annual income of $44,100 or less for a family of 4 may qualify.  Separate application required by May 1.  For complete scholarship guidelines and application procedures, go the Commonweal Foundation’s website:  www.cweal.org  and click on Pathways to Success Scholarship Program for Boarding Schools.   Renewal is based on work requirements, grades and other factors. 

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.
