We use an internal chart in the determination of scholarships. The information informing the chart is the gross annual combined salaries of household members. If a person makes more than the maximum amount in the chart, we will consider extenuating circumstances that might require a larger assistance level. As a small non-profit organization, if there are no extenuating circumstances and you make more than the amount in the chart, we are not able to offer a scholarship. Program spots are not held for participants during scholarship determination. We will reach decisions within a week of application. Scholarships are redetermined and require a new application every semester (no more than 3 months in advance of first program date of the semester).
