our scholarship program

Our main emphasis is on, though not exclusively, first-year high school student-athletes in the NJ/NY area. This opportunity is specifically designed to provide financial aid to eligible student-athletes who are pursuing their academic and athletic goals through tuition assistance. Through our fundraising and donation efforts, we aim to provide support to a growing number of student-athletes in the years to come at any academic level.

A NJ/NY based student-athlete and his/her family must complete the S|A Scholarship Application, submit Federal Income Tax Returns from the previous year, submit unofficial  transcripts of previous and current grade levels, and be willing to participate in promotional campaign's for The Foundation (student-athlete & family).

Scholarship applications, in consideration, for the graduation year of 2025 must be received by March 1, 2025.  We will make every effort to notify applicants of scholarship decisions by April 1, 2025.  

The Foundation will provide partial tuition assistance that is entirely supported by our fundraising and donation initiatives. Annually, the quantity of scholarships available may vary, which means we could potentially award one, multiple, or even none. These scholarships are allocated according to the financial needs of student-athletes, the applications submitted, and a demonstrated need basis.

Kindly submit just one application for the specific year in which you are requesting tuition assistance. If you haven't received tuition assistance for this year, you are welcome to apply for the next year. Please remember that you will need to go through the entire process again and provide new relevant documents as required by the scholarship guidelines.

Parisi Academy provides a structured year prior to entering high school, focused on preparing a student-athlete for the challenges, both academically and athletically, he/she will face. Some student-athletes benefit from a ““gap-year” between middle and high school and therefore choose to repeat their 8th grade year with the Parisi Academy. Other student-athletes simply use their actual 8th grade year with the Parisi Academy as their preparation for high school.

Interested families register their student-athlete as a homeschool student with their school district and utilize the Parisi Academy as their home school learning option. The Parisi Academy provides the necessary paperwork and transcripts required for both public and private schools during the application process and at the end of the school year.
