Financial Aid

SSI offers a few options that will help students and their families pay the registration fee.


All potential financial aid recipients must fill out the Financial Aid Application that is found at the bottom of the Registration Page.

Whether any financial aid is awarded, and the amount awarded to each person, is entirely dependent upon the generosity of our donors. First-time students will receive preference, on a first-come, first-served basis. If we are not able to grant you financial aid, and consequently you are not able to attend, your deposit & subsequent payments to date will be refunded.

Due to the time required to raise the funds necessary to meet all the requests, you will be contacted no later than June 15 as to whether or not you have been awarded Financial Aid.

FIRST TIME APPLICANTS:

The Financial Aid Application and Registration Form must be filled out completely with at least a $50 deposit to reserve your place.

An additional $25 is also required to be paid prior to attendance.

Your minimum payment will be $75, plus any additional amount you are able to pay.

RETURNING STUDENTS:

If you have received financial aid in a previous year, the Financial Aid Application and Registration Form must be filled out completely with at least a $50 deposit to reserve your place.

An additional $100 will be due prior to attendance.

Your minimum payment will be $150, plus any additional amount you are able to pay.

Alternatives to Financial Aid
  • Students registering and paying in full by March 31st receive a $20 discount.

  • Students registering with a group of 10 or more students and paying in full AFTER March 31st receive a $10 discount.
Fundraising Ideas to Reduce or Eliminate the Need for Financial Aid

Many students raise their own money to attend SSI. They do pop can drives, garage sales, rake or mow lawns, shovel snow, babysit, etc. Some even ask for support from individuals and their church, much like raising funds for a missions trip.

Here are some Fundraising Tips and Ideas.
