Overview

Enlightium provides scholarships to eligible families to assist with tuition.
Please note that scholarships are based on availability and not guaranteed.
Indicating your interest in a scholarship will not affect your tuition schedule, which will continue as planned. If you are eligible, you will receive an email with the next steps and any additional information needed to complete the scholarship consideration process.
Scholarships are available on a limited basis and are awarded as funding permits. Priority will be given to students based on the significance of their athletic achievements, as well as the date the application is received and the amount of tuition assistance already granted by Enlightium (such as in the form of discounts).
