Financial Assistance

General Information

Financial assistance is provided  based on financial circumstances. Financial assistance is not guaranteed and is approved based upon need, program space, and fund availability. All applicant's personal information is kept confidential. Class instructors are not informed of applicant's assistance status.

Financial assistance may not be applied to trips or facility rentals.

Registration fees are charged to recover the direct operating costs to deliver the program.

Eligibility

All applicants who wish to register for programs provided by CCRP are eligible to apply for financial assistance. Just fill out the Financial Assistance Form.
Applicants will receive up to 50% off the registration fee. Fee reduction will not cover the entire cost of the program.

Payment plan

An alternative payment schedule will allow installment payments over a specified time period. Full payment must be received before the participant may attend the program.

How To Apply

 1. Complete the program registration form(s) if applicable.

 2. Complete the financial assistance application.

 3. Submit to CCRP by mail, fax, email, or in person with 50% of the program cost. An application without payment will be considered incomplete.

The Financial Assistance Application is fillable and will be submitted directly to our office or you can fill it out by hand and deliver directly to the Department Office or email to lrees@carolinemd.org.

Applicants will be registered for the program when the balance of the fee is paid. 

Payment

Financial assistance reduces the registration fee for a particular program, but applicants will be required to pay up to half of the fee upon application.
