Of Course! Here are some quick ideas;

  • Ask your head coach
  • Ask your athletic administrators
  • Use some of your camp money
  • Ask your conference office if they have funds you could apply for
  • Ask your coaches association if they have funds you could apply for
  • Use the ACIP Sponsor Form to recruit family, mentors and friends to help
  • Are you a club coach? If yes, ask your club director if they would contribute to your tuition costs in exchange for sharing new ideas from ACIP with the club.
  • Approach other organizations you may know of for a grant/scholarship
  • Combine a few of the above ideas to pay a portion and you pay the balance
