Lesley Seminars Financial Assistance

Lesley Seminars financial assistance funds are limited. It is not possible, therefore, to honor all requests. Priority is given to applicants with a demonstrated financial need, and a willingness to make a serious commitment to a class. The Division of Continuing Education will review all requests, and students will be notified of the decision by phone or in writing.

• All requests for financial assistance are confidential.
• The amount of financial assistance will not exceed half of the tuition of a class.
• If a student receives financial assistance and subsequently transfers into a lower tuition class, the financial assistance award will be reduced accordingly so that the aid reflects the same percentage of tuition as the original financial assistance amount.
• Scholarships may be considered taxable by the Internal Revenue Service.  Refer to the IRS Publication 520, "Scholarships and Fellowships" or a tax advisor to determine how this affects individual situations.
• Applicants wishing to apply for financial asistance must contact the Continuing Education Office in writing or by phone one week prior to the start of the class.

To apply for financial assistance the following must be submitted:

1. Lesley Seminars Registration Form;
2. One-half tuition of the class and the non-refundable registration fee of $30 (no fee if registering for workshop);
3. Financial Assistance Form;
4. One page letter describing reasons for requesting assistance;
5. Some evidence of need (e.g., tax return, work pay stub, other).
