Program Cost: The value of the 8-week certification series is $775, however this year we are providing partial scholarships to all participants, along with job placement for those who reside in Los Angeles. Total cost of the program with the partial scholarship is $300.

I understand that, if chosen to partake in the PA Certification Program, the services will be offered at a discounted rate, and I agree to pay my registration fee of $300 by June 19 at 11:59pm.
I understand that there are a limited number of payment plans available to those unable to pay the $300 all at once. I'm in a financial situation that currently limits my ability to pay the flat $300 fee and instead request to pay $170 by June 19 at 11:59pm and $170 by July 10 at 11:59pm. I understand that JFMS values self-accountability, and commit to doing my part to follow-through on my business agreement to the organization.
I am currently in a financial situation that prohibits me from paying anything to partake in this professional development and job placement program. I understand that there are extremely limited full scholarships this year, and only about 10% of participants will be able to be awarded a full scholarship. Without a full scholarship, I could not participate in this program. With a full scholarship, I commit myself to be punctual, participatory, and make full use of this life-changing opportunity.
Please share a website or links to work if you have them. (Optional)
Please share short professional bio of 150 words if available. (Optional)
