Thank you for your interest in applying to Out In Front. As noted in the application, Out In Front is deeply committed to socio-economic diversity in our cohorts, and we will make every effort to make the program affordable for you.
Please note that in making a sliding scale tuition request, applicants are asked to consider outside funding sources that might be available to them. These include contributions from friends, family, employer, faith community, crowdfunding campaigns, and other sources. Please also consider carefully what value you would place on an experience such as Out In Front. We recognize that many LGBTQ individuals have faced circumstances (e.g. employment discrimination, loss of family support) that have created financial difficulties, but we also view the process of securing outside support as a first act of leadership in the program.
While Out In Front makes efforts to honor the proposed tuition amount an applicant requests, tuition amounts are based on the number of requests received and the amount of funds available each year.
Please estimate the total amount of tuition that you will be able to pay, including all outside funding sources available to you. We ask all participants to pay a minimum of $250 toward their tuition; Out In Front can provide applicants with resources to help in personal fundraising toward this amount. In order to make the best use of our limited tuition assistance, we encourage participants to pay the highest sliding scale rate affordable for them. Please note also that tuition can be paid in three installments. Full tuition without assitance is $1,500.
