Affording Synapse
Financial Aid for the 2023-2024 School Year
We are deeply committed to making a Synapse education affordable and accessible. Synapse School offers comprehensive financial aid packages to provide full access to school programs and community events. We do not want cost to prevent families from attending Synapse School. We understand that applying for financial aid can be challenging and we would be happy to help you through the application process. If you have any questions, contact the Financial Aid team by email.
Synapse will begin using the Clarity Application in addition to the consideration of the Bay Area’s unique economic conditions and each family's specific financial situation to determine the financial aid awards.
Apply now for financial aid through Clarity. Clarity's platform is user-friendly making it easier for families to apply for Financial Aid. Clarity offers a streamlined, mobile friendly application that can be completed in as short a time as 20 minutes. If you apply before the deadline, Clarity removes the need to upload your 2021 W2 and 1040 by transferring them directly from the IRS. This reduces the amount of information that you will need to enter manually and makes it possible to complete the application quickly and efficiently.
If you are an international applicant please Email Financial Aid.
