There are many forms of financial aid available that can take the worrying out of coming to Transitions. These include federal and state grants, funding for New York State students with intellectual or developmental disabilities, medical tax deductions, student employment, payment plans, personal fundraising and private scholarships.

Transitions also offers several scholarships, including merit scholarships which offer up to $5,500 per year for full-year students and up to $1,000 for Summer Immersion Experience sessions.
