Financial Aid
Tuition assistance for candidates
Thanks to the generosity of organizations such as the West Des Moines Chamber of Commerce, the Selection Committee has been able to offer financial assistance to outstanding Academy applicants. When considering candidates for financial assistance, the committee strongly considers leadership potential and the recommendations given for the candidate. It is also important to the committee that no one person is given 100% assistance for tuition, believing that some "skin in the game" is vital for Academy members to buy into the mission and vision of the program.
