Scholarships and Financial Aid

Scholarships and grants have the ability to provide financial support for your loved one’s experience at LEAF Academy. We know firsthand how much of an impact scholarships can make on your loved one’s ability to attend our program, and that’s why we want to point you to as many of them as we can. 

At this time, Embracing Abilities does not administer any scholarships or financial aid. Due to this, we encourage our families and students to apply to several outside grants and scholarships.
