Scholarship Guidelines
Who We Are, And Who Our Scholarships Are For
Conscious Girlfriend Academy is a small, idealistic lesbian-owned business committed to accessibility. We offer discounts to those who face financial barriers, and/or navigate discrimination and racism. We offer these discounts in a spirit of love and trust.
Please Do Ask Us For A Scholarship If:
✔️ You sincerely want to learn conscious, healthy lesbian/queer dating and relationship skills, and you won't be able to join without a price break.
Please Don't Ask Us For A Scholarship If:
✔️ You are just looking for a bargain, or you just don't like to pay full price for anything, or it feels hard to spend money on yourself.
✔️ The cost sounds like a lot to spend on classes, but you'd spend that amount in a heartbeat traveling to spend time with someone you met online.
✔️ You take overseas or Olivia trips, drive a late-model luxury car, own multiple properties, own your home and have substantial equity, and/or spend money on luxury goods, original art, concerts and dinners out.
We've had so many members tell us about their years of struggling post breakup, and all the physical and mental health problems (and costs!) they went through... as well as divorces that cost them tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. And we've had many members tell us that their time in the Academy changed their lives much more than years of 1:1 therapy. So honestly, if you can afford it, we think the Academy tuition is quite a bargain.
But if you can't afford it, we absolutely want to make this transformation available to you! Please look at the chart below to get a sense of what level of discount you qualify for, and then email us at [email protected] with your request. Thank you!
