TUITION ACCESSIBILITY GRANT (TAG)

Offering a Limited Number of $5,000 Tuition Grants to students in 2-year, 3-year or 4-year nursery.

We are pleased to announce an SAR Tuition Accessibility Grant (TAG) for the 2026-27 school year. The SAR TAG initiative is specifically targeted to address the tuition burden of families who are struggling with the high cost of day school education. Although for many that challenge is addressed by need-based scholarships, there is a segment of our community that does not qualify for traditional financial assistance, but still struggles to pay full tuition. TAG is designed to provide tuition relief for these families.

All SAR families who meet the eligibility requirements are encouraged to apply. Families who meet the eligibility requirements will receive a tuition grant ($5,000 for a student in 2-year, 3-year or 4-year nursery) to be applied against their tuition charges at SAR for the 2026-27 school year.

• Only applicants who are in good financial standing and who in the absence of this grant would be paying full tuition are eligible to apply for the grant. The grant cannot be combined with any other financial assistance, affordability grant or discount.
