2015 Financial Aid Request Form INSTRUCTIONS Tuition for the 2015 Emerge program is $650. Leadership Austin donors have established some sources of financial aid for Emerge participants. This aid varies in terms of quantity and dollar amount. Financial aid requests are considered only after the Emerge class selection process is complete and will in no way impact consideration of your application. To submit a financial aid request, please complete this form and submit it as an attachment with your Emerge application. Please note: to assure that limited financial aid funds are equitably distributed, requests must be submitted with the initial application by 5:00 pm on Monday, June 29. Incomplete or late requests will not be considered. As financial aid funds are limited, applicants are asked to consider requesting funds only as a last resort, after taking advantage of available contributions from employers and community organizations for which they have served.
