Financial aid

Panama Service Project has competitive pricing, yet we hope to make the trip as accessible as possible to all qualified students. Pending group size and current trip costs, we typically have a limited amount of financial aid and/or offer a payment plan. Funds are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. To qualify for financial aid, candidates must demonstrate strong financial need, strong interest in community service, commitment to intercultural learning and/or a strong academic record.

Complete the Financial Aid Application by January 15th and email it to jeanmplum@gmail.com for consideration.
