Unlike scholarships, Fee Assistance can be used more than once and for every individual in a single household up to one calendar year. Families will need to reapply each year to continue to be considered.
To be considered, families must meet 200% or less of the federal poverty line and must submit both proof of residency and proof of total income with their application.
