AOI In-house Scholarship
The Academy of Innovation is proud to be able to provide financial assistance to families through the help of generous donors who make it possible.
Scholarships may be awarded based on the family's financial need to students who attend the Academy of Innovation on a full or part-time basis. This may include a dual enrollment with another school. The AOI scholarship is to be used exclusively for AOI tuition and not for any other school’s instructional fees.
In order to ascertain if a student is eligible for the AOI scholarship, parents must complete an online application (one-time application fee of $51.00) with the School and Student Services (SSS), a national organization that estimates the amount of tuition that families can use for funding to pay for private schools. Total household income of each parent will be used in the evaluation of eligibility. Parents fill out the application and provide the required documents to see if they meet the scholarship criteria. After receiving the SSS report, a member of AOI scholarship committee schedules an interview with the potential parents to go over the SSS report. Then the committee will meet and review the SSS recommendations to determine if the family meets the scholarship qualifications. The AOI committee will make the final decision about scholarship awards. All financial records will be held in confidence.
The AOI Scholarship is awarded for 1 year and is not automatically renewable. Families will need to reapply for the scholarship on a yearly basis.
School and Student Services has webinars with good information if you run into something you're not sure about. If you have any other questions about their platform/portal you can always contact them at 800.344.8328. They're very helpful. :)
