Tuition cost is the most commonly cited reason preventing parents from successful enrollment in our programs. Annual tuition ranges from $18,000 to $44,000 annually depending on the program. Families seeking financial aid submit a formal application which includes documenting the proof of income (i.e., most recent tax return) and an appointed committee determines the level of aid.  In the last three years alone, The Victory Center has distributed over $100,000 in scholarships to deserving families. Scholarships range in size from $2,500 to $18,000 depending on a family\u2019s financial circumstances. Despite our efforts to provide scholarships and reduce the cost of tuition, there is still great need for additional funds. The reality is that the average annual income for a family household in Florida is $46,956 (US Census Bureau), rates of autism have continued to rise, intensive behavioral intervention is costly, and state scholarships only partially fund our programs. <\/p>\n<p>Total Project Budget: $105,000<\/p>\n<p>Other Funding <br \/>\nSources For The Project (Committed &amp; Potential): The Batchelor Foundation<\/p>\n<p>Project Duration: 1 school year<br \/>\nGeographical Area Served: Miami-Dade and Broward Counties<br \/>\nAge Group To Be Served: 3-22<\/p>\n<p>Contact Information<\/p>\n<hr size='1' noshade='noshade' \/>\n<p>Contact Prefix (Mr,Mrs etc.): Dr. <br \/>\nContact First Name: Tara<br \/>\nContact Last Name: Loughrey<br \/>\nContact Title: Director of Education<br \/>\nContact Phone: 305-466-1142<br \/>\nContact Email: tloughrey@thevictoryschool.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hermanowski Family Foundation Initial Request Form Organization Name: The Victory Center for Autism and Related Disabilities Legal Name (if Different): The Victory Center, Inc.
