AG Bell Financial Aid Programs: Support for the Family Journey
Join us on November 7 and learn how you can take advantage of AG Bell Financial Aid Programs during our next Parent Chat.
Did you know that AG Bell offers a range of financial aid programs to support children who are deaf or hard of hearing as they develop Listening and Spoken Language? Join AG Bell as we discuss the kinds of programs offered, eligibility requirements, and strategies for submitting a successful application. You will hear from financial aid committee members and parent recipients. Time will be provided for questions and comments.
Parents and Caregivers will be able to:
- Understand the eligibility requirements related to receiving different AG Bell financial aid programs.
- Understand various AG Bell programs and receive tips for a successful application.
- Be exposed to feedback from past parent recipients and recognize the impact of receiving financial aid.
- Identify strategies for creating a compelling application.
