Financial Aid is available to girls who are unable to pay for Girl Scout programs due to financial hardship. We will make every effort to ensure that no girl is denied participation in a Girl Scout experience because of lack of funds. In some case, Financial Aid is also available to adult members.

Financial Assistance Guidelines

• Application must be complete and include proof of income and any required deposit
• Financial Assistance requests must be for something specific, e.g. uniform parts or a specific activity.
• Financial Assistance funds are supplementary. The Council expects each family to pay as much as it can toward the cost of the Girl Scout experience.
• Financial Assistance funds are based on financial need and/or special circumstances.  Based on where a family qualifies, assistance can range from 20% up to 80% of a request.
• Financial Assistance funds are limited. The Council makes every effort to provide enough support so that no girl is denied participation in a Girl Scout experience due to lack of funds. 
• Applicants may be eligible for Financial Assistance up to twice a year if the second experience is significantly different from the first. 
• Send all requests to:  Girl Scouts of Northern California, San Jose Office, 1310 S. Bascom Ave, San Jose, CA  95128 • Fax (408) 287-8662
