Carefully read the statements below.
A) Tier One is for those who identify with the following statement:
It is important for me or my child to attend, yet paying Tier Two—even in several monthly installments— will undermine our household’s ability to pay our rent, clothe ourselves, buy medicine, and otherwise meet our basic needs for survival.
*Note that this tier is for those experiencing true financial hardship. If Tier Two was the fixed price and you could pay it, Tier One is not for you.
B) Tier One is also for anyone of an historically marginalized or oppressed population who identifies with the following statement:
I, my family, or the people I identify with currently or historically feel the weight of marginalization or oppression. Although financially I identify as a Tier Two participant, the amount that I pay here helps to lessen the weight or burden of oppression.
*For those of marginalized or oppressed groups who are financially able to pay Tier Three or Four, we invite you--if you wish--to pay Tier Two or Three, respectively.
