Tuition Discount Application
Shake-A-Leg Miami’s Tuition Discount and Scholarship Program
Shake-A-Leg Miami is dedicated to providing an affordable, accessible watersports and educational facility for our community. Students are automatically eligible for a 100% scholarship is they are in the ESE Program at a Miami-Dade County Public School and have an IEP (Individual Education Plan on file), attend a Title I Miami-Dade County Public School, or receive a free or reduced lunch at a Miami-Dade County Public School. If your student does not fit into any of these criteria, we encourage you to fill out this application and apply for a tuition discount. Tuition discounts apply to all of our programs and are given on a per program basis, lasting for the duration of that program (i.e. the school year, or the summer).
Tuition discount applications are reviewed by the Shake-A-Leg staff, and are approved based on financial need, motivation for participation, and if necessary, a personal interview. Scholarships range from 25% - 100% of the advertised tuition and may be given as a percentage discount or a fixed dollar amount.
To qualify for a tuition discount, proof of income is required. You must submit the proof with your application. Listed below are the documents accepted by Shake-A-Leg Miami as proof of income. Shake-A-Leg Miami reserves the right to verify all documentation and request further information prior to a final decision. Please also enclose a letter stating:
1. Why you want your child involved in a SALM program
2. Reason for financial needed.
3. Ways you could assist SALM
