Do you have any ideas on how I might reduce or even cover the cost of my tuition?
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
