Financial Aid Process
Thanks to the support of our generous corporate partners and community foundations, we are able to offer financial assistance for our Academy Program to girls from households that are considered to be low-moderate income.
Our assessments are based on the Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) household income guidelines that set out the Median Family Income (MFI) for each state and county, based on the number of household members. Applicants who’s household income is less than 80% of the MFI for their county may be awarded financial assistance up to 100% of program fees.
1. Do I qualify based on my household income?
To find out if your household income is below 80% of MFI click here.
Select ‘2020’. Select ‘query tool’. Select ‘Click Here for FY 2020 IL Documentation’
Select your State and Town/County. Select ‘View State Calculations’
If you fall below the 80% MFI level / low income limit for your area you may be awarded financial aid.
2. Do I qualify based on my location?
We currently have funding for girls from low to moderate income households in all 50 US States
3. How do I apply for financial assistance?

4. What do I need to provide to show my household income?
