You raise funds for part of the cost

We provide some support

Thanks to our community partners—Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona, Florence Immigrant and Refugee Rights Project, Community Foundation for Southern Arizona, Arizona Community Foundation, Vitalyst Health Foundation, Elan Consulting, and Sarah L.M. Griffiths—financial assistance will be available and can be requested.

Our goal is to provide assistance to as many people as need it. If you've already been informed that a community partner is sponsoring you and that sponsorship covers all your needs, you don't need to apply for assistance.

We ask those who need assistance to pay the highest amount you can reasonably afford so we may support others and their needs as well.

With that in mind, will you need a scholarship? (The link to the Scholarship Application is on the next page of this application).

Yes

A community partner is sponsoring me
