Family Information

We want to make sure that VISIONS is the best fit for you and your family!

Students are required to come to VISIONS with a willing and eager attitude, be inclusive, try new things, and have a lot of fun. VISIONS is not in any way a program for teens with emotional or behavioral problems.

Students must be able to self-regulate, maintain self-care, and function independently. 

Financial Aid
VISIONS is committed to making life-changing opportunities possible for students worldwide. Families who apply for financial aid must submit the following items: 

1. A cover letter from the family that: 
    • Explains your financial need
    • Identifies the top three choices of programs to attend and any date / schedule restrictions
    • Specifies the dollar amount being requested
2. 400 to 500-word essay written by the participant that:
    • Explains what the opportunity to attend a VISIONS program would mean to you
    • Identifies your goals for attending the program
    • Outlines your fundraising plans
3. Family must submit two most recent tax returns (for financial aid requests of more than $500).

I understand that by participating, I am an ambassador for VISIONS and will seek to build friendships, uphold an ethic of service and goodwill.

I understand that safe, considerate conduct and respect for program policies are essential. I also know that I will be living and working in the public eye, and appropriate behavior, language, and clothing are necessary.
