Scholarship and promotions
We offer two $2500 tuition reduction scholarships for each cohort. Scholarships are only available to those who us a payment plan to pay their tuition. The application is a business plan Scholarships are awarded based on professional commitment, not financial status. We want to see a full-fledged business plan that shows your intentions for this work and how the EBI training will support both your impact and financial goals.
Once an application/plan is submitted, it will be reviewed. Unless it meets our standards for completion, it will be sent back with feedback to be updated. That updated draft will then be added to the list of completed applications. We only accept applications from registered and committed students, as this is more about EBI investing in your future, rather than just reducing your costs. We want to invest in students who are 100% committed to their future. Please be sure your commitment extends beyond your dependency on obtaining a scholarship before applying.
Once awarded, the student’s tuition balance due will be adjusted immediately resulting in either (student’s choice) a reduction in monthly payment amount of loan length.
Here’s how the process works and the timelines involved.
- Complete the NCC registration process.
- Submit your business plan within 30 days after registration and 60 before the start of your program. Applications submitted after within the 60-day window will not be accepted.
- Applications will be reviewed after the 60-day window. If revisions are required, feedback will be sent promptly during that time with a due date for a final draft.
- Final decisions will be made 30-days before the start of the program and payment plan balances will be updated immediately to affect the remaining balance due.
