Hi Crystal,


Thanks so much for reaching out! Hilary and Dana said that to go ahead and submit for a low/no-cost spot even though the applications closed last month. Below are the questions if you want to just reply to this email with your answers/submittal. I would suggest submitting by the end of the week.

1. Are you enrolled in the Groundwork program?
2. Tell us about you and your interest in Certification.
3. What are you able to pay for the program, if anything? Please add total amount and payment terms below (ie. $100 at $25/month for 4 months).

If you want to know more about the program, see this webpage.

Thank you!



Hi Kathy.


Thanks for reaching out and sharing your story. You can find details on this section of the program webpage (see text underneath the pricing boxes). I’m adding the copy below for easy reference.

LOW/NO-COST SPOTS: In addition to having standard and equity pricing, we have a minimum of 10 low- or no-cost spots in our Certification Program each year for people who are on a limited income and or unable to earn income, or whose currency and exchange rate make the program inaccessible. We will be accepting a total of 30 low/no-cost applications for our 2024 cohort . We expect that these requests will come in quickly so we recommend submitting yours as soon as possible. Please click here to start the request process. You’ll first be directed to sign our program terms of use before proceeding to complete your application.

Once you sign the program terms of use, you'll then be emailed a registration link where you will find the link to the low/no-cost application underneath the price boxes.

Thank you.
