Financial Planning Academy

FAQs

Cost

The cost for camp, including all meals, activities, and housing, is $150 per camper (a $900 value) - a price made possible by the generous support from Charles Schwab Foundation. Participants will be responsible for their own travel arrangements to and from Columbus. Limited funding is available to offset the cost of Financial Planning Academy. See the application for additional information regarding hardship funding.
