Need-based financial assistance may be provided to aid families in need to offset the cost of 2nd Nature Academy (SNA) tuition and fees. Families must apply for financial assistance through the Blackbaud Financial Aid application process. Once an application is complete, it will be submitted to the SNA Financial Aid Committee for review. Aid may be awarded based on: • a family's demonstrated need, • the number of students applying, • and availability of funds. Applying for financial aid is no guarantee that aid will be awarded. ​ For additional questions regarding the application process, please contact admissions@2ndnatureacademy.com.(mailto:admissions@2ndnatureacademy.com)
