Financial Support

Upon graduation from high school and enrollment in college, each SAS collegian has a $6,000 account with Philadelphia Futures, accessible on a semester-by semester-basis. These funds – contributed by the student’s sponsor – are used for books, fees, and other college-related expenses.

In addition to disbursing students’ sponsorship funds, the OCRS provides assistance with undergraduate and post-graduate financial aid applications, helps to cover the cost of summer coursework through a partnership with PHEAA Path, and provides support for collegians with financial emergencies.
