"Thanks to the financial award from AG Bell, I was able to keep doing the sport I love—Rowing!"
At AG Bell, we care deeply about children who are deaf or hard of hearing and their families. We want every child to have support as they learn to listen, talk, and thrive. We are sharing an important update about our financial aid programs for 2027.
For many years, one funding source helped pay for many of our financial aid programs. That funding is no longer available. Because of this, AG Bell is making careful changes to use the funds we do have in the best way possible.
In 2027, we will start a new program called the AG Bell First Sounds Fund. This new program will bring together two of our current programs: Parent & Infant and Preschool. It will help families with children from birth through age five. These early years are very important for listening and spoken language development.
We know this change may be hard for some families. Please know that we made this decision with great care. AG Bell will continue to support children and families. We will share more details about who can apply, when to apply, and what comes next in the coming months.
Thank you for trusting AG Bell. We are grateful to be part of your child’s journey.
