Scholarship Application
Please complete the form below to apply for a scholarship with ACA coach academies.
ACA is now offering scholarships to students who are disadvantaged by circumstances, the LGBTQIA+ community, and BILPOC students. Students will be given opportunities to attend certain classes based on availability. A waiting list may precede the opening of this scholarship due to ACA’s course offerings throughout the year.
This scholarship is aimed at reducing any disparities in obtaining coaching education. Coaching education can cost anywhere from $4,000 - $20,000 making it impossible to obtain by many people. We believe that cost should not be a barrier to education. We support education for all.
This scholarship is meant to serve anyone feeling disadvantaged in the coaching community. Some examples are the following:
people from racial and ethnic groups that are underrepresented in coaching
people with disabilities
people who identify as LGBTQIA+
people disadvantaged by circumstances that have negatively impacted their educational opportunities
BILPOC students

Coaching can help anyone in any situation. Asking powerful questions, active listening, and even creating safe spaces for individuals is universal. This coach training program is accredited by the International Coaching Federation at this time. It does include mentorship and training on developing coaching skills. This training is not limited just to those in business but to everyone. This program is a journey of personal development. It is inclusive and is a safe space for all.
Applications for a scholarship are evaluated by a team of dedicated members of ACA. Every complete request will receive a response and the average lead time for applications is ten days.
At ACA we award scholarships based on the following criteria for applicants:
Desire to serve communities and realize their purpose
