Please read this before selecting 25% or 50% reduced rate tuition options on the registration form

We are glad to be able to offer reduced rate spots to those that need them in order to make this program as accessible as possible. Please note though that these reduced rate spots are not a sale - they are intended for people who would otherwise not be able to join us. There are a limited number of reduced rate spots so please be mindful that if you request it when you could afford the higher prices, you may be impacting access to the program for someone who truly needs the lower price. 

To help you decide if you should apply for the reduced rate (and which level would be most appropriate for you), we have put together this rough guide.

You should pay full price if:

• You are financially secure (spend little time worried about accessing basic necessities).

• You own property or have some personal savings.

• You have some disposable income.

• You have access to family financial support.

You should apply for a 25% discount if:

• You do not find your financial situation reflected in either descriptions for the highest cost or the lowest.

• You are struggling to pay off debt or build savings and move away from paycheck to paycheck living.

• You have a steady income.

• You are able to cover basic needs such as food, shelter, childcare, etc without overwhelming stress or strain.

• You do not have family members, partners or friends who could help you cover the cost.

You should apply for a 50% discount if:

• You are fixed income/low income.

• You do not have access to savings or family/friend financial support.

• You are Mi’kmaq/Indigenous, Black, or a person of colour and do not fit into one of the above categories.
