FUNDING ASSISTANCE OPTIONS
Glacier happily supports and works with all of the funding organizations in our community. Our staff can help you with many questions and can help guide you through your funding application.
Apply in Advance
Each of the funding organizations have their own systems and procedures. Most appreciate or require arrangements to be made in advance of registration or the start of the program.
Our Payment Policies
Generally, we require payment at the time of registration. While we are flexible in this regard with funding assistance circumstances; we do not usually permit participation in class without payment.
Funding can often take 1-2 months to be approved and received. When funding applications are completed in advance, this is not a problem. However when registration is submitted before a funding application has been made - our policy is as follows:
- Payment of the registration costs upfront.
Once funding is received we'll reimburse you 100%. - If full registration costs can not be covered, the Annual Membership Fee must be paid upfront.
It will be reimbursed once funding is received. - IN ALL CASES - where payment is owing - we REQUIRE PROOF that a funding application has been submitted.
Proof of Application
Proof of funding is REQUIRED WITHIN 1 WEEK of your registration. It can be provided in a number of ways:
- Email us a photo of the completed application.
- Include us in your email correspondence with the funding administrator.
- Stop by with your completed application and we'll take a copy
