Output different string depending on boolean

I have this small piece of code:

public DisabledStudent(int id, int age, bool requiressupport)
{
this.requiressupport = requiressupport;
}

The array is similar to this below:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
const int MaxStudents = 4;

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 Student[] studentList;
 studentList = new Student[4];

 studentList[0] = new Student(51584, 17);
 studentList[1] = new Student(51585, 19);
 studentList[2] = new Student(51586, 15);
 studentList[3] = new Student(51587, 20);

    for (int i = 0; i < MaxStudents; i++)
    {
         lstStudents.Items.AddRange(studentList);
    }
}

What I want to do is output a string from an array of students and basically display a different part of text depending on whether the requiressupport boolean is true or false:

public override string ToString()
{
    return string.Format("Disabled Student - ID: {0} (Age {1})", this.Number, this.Age);
}

I want that statement above to basically say Disabled Student - ID: 45132 (Age 19) with support if the requiressupport boolean is true and Disabled Student - ID: 45132 (Age 19) without support if the requiressupport boolean is false, but I'm not sure how I'd go about this?

One of your many options is to use the ?: conditional operator

public override string ToString()
{
    return string.Format("Disabled Student - ID: {0} (Age {1}) {2}", this.Number, this.Age, this.requiressupport ? "with support" : "without support");
}
