For a small academy, privately run and financed, Sakhara Academy turned out near-perfect soldiers. The cadets of the institution are the children of former graduates, and sometimes entire generations of a family attend Sakhara. The academy has access to advanced training equipment, largely as a result of extensive gifts from private corporations and the families of various alumni. High tuition fees and financial support from former graduates ensure the continued existence of the Sakhara Academy.<ref name=FMFS39-40>''Field Manual: Federated Suns'', pp. 39–40: "Sakhara Academy Profile"</ref>

The entrance is reserved for richest families or who have considerable political influence. The community of former and actual members form a close circle, they see themselves as a elite. For example, when a student has problems, the other cadets watch him and help him.<ref name=FMFS39-40/>
