The Hardship Fund was developed to help APA community members when facing a severe hardship. Funds in this account are distributed to APA community members as directed by the Foundation when they are notified of a critical need in the community. Needs may include costs for excessive medical care, funeral costs, or costs from other extreme situations.
The Foundation is governed by a Board of Directors, who has sole authority to select grantees and operate the Foundation within its exempt purposes. Selections will be based on a written application which may include budget information, receipts, invoices, or other documents that may prove needed.
The Hardship Fund is a source of financial help to American Preparatory Academy staff, students, and family members who are experiencing financial difficulties.
The application must include specific descriptions of the recipient’s needs. Payments from the Fund are discretionary. If awarded, they do not need to be repaid. Nevertheless, the application and award obligates the recipient to use the awarded funds only for the purposes for which they were granted and acknowledges the Foundation's authority to withhold and/or recover grant funds in case such funds are, or appear to be, misused.
