SCHOLARSHIP/TUITION REDUCTION PROGRAMS
At September High School our board and community have made scholarships and tuition reduction programs a key element of the support we provide our students and families. For the school year 2007-2008, we were able to provide some form of tuition assistance to over 20% of our families, and we are committed to maintaining and deepening this support in the future. Below is a list of programs:
Discounts
A 2% discount is provided for paying in advance for the academic year.
Loan Programs
K-12 Family Education Loans are available through two national financial lenders, the Sallie Mae Family Education Loan Program and the Key Bank Educational Funding Option.
