Financial Aid
We are pleased to provide financial aid opportunities for select training programs to make our education accessible to those who qualify.
As a part of our mission to create a trauma-informed world, we value accessibility, inclusivity, and diversity when it comes to the students who join our programs.
In alignment with our mission and values, we offer a handful of 25% and 50% financial aid options, with payment plan options for each program cohort. Additionally, a small number of financial aid spots are reserved for applicants from developing countries. Aid is awarded on an as-needed basis, as determined by our staff.
Please note that financial aid is currently available for the Trauma and Somatics Practitioner Certificate Program and the Attachment and Somatics Practitioner Certificate Program.
For more details on eligibility and application criteria, please review the requirements provided below.
