When you support a child, a life is changed forever!
Through the generosity of our people like you, we provide a full scholarship to all SMPA students and an exceptional, holistic education to children whose families could not otherwise afford it. We open the window to opportunities that transform our students lives.
We invite you to make a scholarship gift. Your gift can radically alter the trajectory of a child’s life.
Thanks to donors like you, 100% of our alumni have graduated high school, in a city where the dropout rate hovers around 30%.

Sponsorship Levels
High School Scholarship: $3,500 for one-year
High school scholarships support students excelling in music, art, athletics, community service or academics.
90% of our graduates attend college preparatory high schools on scholarship.
College Scholarship: $7,500 for one-year
You can help us close the college-funding gap.
We helped our graduates secure nearly $500,000 in scholarship funding last year, but many are left with gaps of $5,000-$10,000, far too great a cost for families living in poverty to afford.
SMPA provides some limited financial aid for college… but we need your help!
Middle School Scholarship: $16,000 for one year
Sponsor a child for one year of exceptional education- 10 hours a day, 11 months a year. An SMPA education delivers a broad foundation that allows students to succeed in high school, college and beyond. We help our students discover, cultivate and share their gifts and talents so that become successful agents of change in their communities
A Middle School Scholarship goes beyond the academic day and includes all resources necessary to provide a holistic education:
- co-curricular activities
- field trips
- tutoring
- athletics
- music
- counseling
- meals
- uniforms
- supplies
Comprehensive Scholarship: $27,000 for one-year
