Financial Aid

We're committed to making our programs accessible to all students!

If you would like to register for Math Circle but are unable to pay the full tuition, we offer generous financial aid so you can pay only what you can afford.

We offer a limited number of reduced tuition scholarship spaces for our SF State Math Circle and Math Camp. In order to receive a scholarship for a 2025 class or camp, families must first complete ActivityHero's scholarship application.

After you have been approved for a scholarship by ActivityHero, you may register for a scholarship space. You may only register for a scholarship space after your scholarship application has been approved by ActivityHero. It may take ActivityHero up to a week to process and review your application.

If you applied for and received a scholarship for a 2024 class or camp, you must reapply for 2025 classes and / or camps — ActivityHero requires a new application for each calendar year. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Please note: ActivityHero is responsible for managing the scholarship application and approval process. If you have questions or are experiencing any difficulty, you can contact ActivityHero’s support team at https://help.activityhero.com/kb-tickets/new

Families who qualify for scholarship spaces will receive up to 90% reduced tuition (so they will pay only 10%). ActivityHero will determine the amount of the scholarship based on their review of the scholarship application.

Please note: We have a limited number of scholarship spaces available. If you are approved for a scholarship, you will only be able to register for a scholarship space if there is one available.

If you'd like to donate to our financial aid fund to help us continue to offer financial aid to families in need, you can do so via our Donate page.

The tuition we charge allows us to cover the costs of the resources we provide, including:

  • Activity design and development

  • Facilitator training and preparation

  • Low student-to-facilitator ratios

We appreciate your support in keeping Math Circle both accessible and sustainable!
