Our goal is to make Journey to Justice accessible to all students regardless of their ability to pay. Thanks to generous donations from private donors and sponsors, we can offer financial assistance to students who demonstrate need.

Please allow up to two business days for your request to be processed. Because demand for assistance is great and funds are limited, we encourage parents/guardians to apply early.
