CELI 2022 Tuition - Scholarship Application
We are deeply committed to ensuring that every accepted applicant is able to attend the Fellowship program regardless of financial situation. For Fellows who are unable to meet the program costs and cannot access professional development funds through their employer, CELI is able to provide scholarships on a financial need basis, thanks to the generous support of our donors and sponsors. Barring exceptional circumstances, all applicants are required to pay at least $300 of the tuition amount (note that this can be paid in 10 monthly installments) in order to stretch the scholarship pool to support more eligible fellows. We will review the scholarship application and notify applicants by February 23, COB.
