La Vida: Financial Aid Request

La Vida: Financial Aid Request

It is deeply important to us that all individuals have access to our summer programs that create opportunities for meaningful connections with others and nature. We are excited to work together with you to make this happen. Please fill out the information below to apply for assistance. Someone from our office will reach out with any additional questions or a request for supporting documents.
Eligibility for Financial Assistance: Financial aid is available to individuals or groups who otherwise would not be able to participate in a La Vida Experience. In order to help as many students as possible each summer, we consider a variety of factors when we award financial assistance, including need and the number of applicants. Financial assistance is not guaranteed; it is based on the availability of funds and meeting the eligibility requirements.

Timeline & Notification: Requests for financial assistance should be turned in no later than four weeks before the beginning of the first applicable program for processing and notification. Know that we do our very best to accommodate all requests, and all information is kept strictly confidential.

To Apply: Complete one financial assistance form per family/organization. Please note that we may ask for additional information or documents.
