What are Access Scholarships?
About the Program
The DFREE® Access Scholarship program removes financial barriers that prevent individuals and families from participating in DFREE® financial freedom education. Access scholarships are essentially fee waivers or financial assistance that cover the costs of DFREE® programs, tools, events, and access to financial professionals. Programming includes the DFREE® Online Academy, 12 Steps to Financial Freedom curriculum, Say Yes to No Debt books and workbooks, podcasts and webinars. Fee assistance is supported by corporate partners (or sponsors).
