Scholarships

High Hopes is dedicated to offering our services to all those who qualify, regardless of their financial circumstances. We provide financial help through a scholarship program, and our participants may apply for assistance through our Business Office. You can help us keep this fund available by designating your gift toward scholarships. Contributions in any amount are appreciated.

The program fees collected cover approximately 30% of our costs, and donations enable us to subsidize the remaining 70%. With our commitment to accepting participants into our programs based on therapeutic need, regardless of financial means, we offer further scholarship assistance to those unable to pay the established fees. Fifty-five percent of our Equine-Assisted program participants received direct scholarship assistance toward their program fees. In 2007 we awarded $73,450 in scholarships to school groups and individual families. Additionally, more than $456,500 was allocated to subsidize our programs for all.

If you would like more specific information about our tuition fees so you may underwrite a semester or year of lessons, please contact Sara Qua, Director of Development, at 860-434-1974, Ext. 22, or squa@highhopestr.org
