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.
