Public School Academy (PSA) Scholar Program

The Public School Academy (PSA) Scholar Program is a distinguished $8,000 scholarship designed to support, challenge, and guide graduates from SVSU-authorized academies who exhibit leadership potential. This program is structured to provide intensive career, academic, and financial support, helping students develop the skills they need to succeed in college and beyond.

Transition Program and College Readiness Support: PSA Scholars enter SVSU’s Transition Program, a rigorous college readiness initiative offering extensive support inside and outside the classroom. Key aspects of this program include: 

  • Volunteer & Leadership Opportunities: Build community and develop leadership through organized service experiences. 
  • Career & Professional Development: Access employment and professional growth opportunities to explore career paths. 
  • Social-Emotional & Academic Support: Benefit from tailored advising, social-emotional resources, and academic guidance.
