In order for greatest number of people possible to participate in the CDP, we allocate a portion of our budget for student financial assistance, which is distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to limited resources, we recommend that you apply as early as possible. We cannot guarantee that every application will result in assistance, even if you’ve received financial support from CMSC in the past for different trainings.
You may make your request for assistance on the online Course Application, or email befriendyourself@gmail.com for more information.
We take the following into account when making financial aid decisions:
- Mitigating life circumstances. Mitigating circumstances could include prolonged unemployment, volunteering/working in underserved areas, family illness or death, costly legal procedures, etc.
- Your true needs. Considering what is most true, kind, and wise, what specific amount do you feel you are able to pay each month?
The $250 course deposit still stands for each applicant, regardless of the agreed financial arrangement.
