We want to ensure that a broad range of students are able to participate in this course. Playful Dyads will be offering a limited number needs-based scholarships for those students in need of financial aid for this training. These scholarships will be considered and offered on an individual case by case basis depending on the level of need shared by the applicant.

If you feel that you qualify for this type of enrollment, please apply to the course and add your scholarship justification request during the application process. Note: the $50 USD non-refundable application fee still applies for this type of enrollment and would go towards the course fee if accepted. Acceptance into the course does not require immediate payment - allowing accepted students to request additional funding outside of Playful Dyads.

The deadline for scholarship application is March 15, 2023. The deadline for course registration and initial payment is April 15, 2023. Please contact Playful Dyads directly if you require accommodations outside of these deadlines.
