- Submit Financial Aid Request:
This step will send a request to First Tee staff to approve your request. Anyone who applies for financial aid will be approved for the full price of the class. Once you submit a request your student(s) have a reserved spot in the class you selected. Once approved by First Tee staff they will be officially registered. You will then get 2 emails, 1 confirming that your financial aid has been approved and another from Taylour Boer, First Tee Program Director, confirming what class your student(s) have been registered for. We will send out an additional email about a week prior to the start of class with more information.
