Please don't let financial concerns stop you from registering for self-defense training. We may not be able to guarantee you a spot in the current class, but we will work with you to find you a spot in a future WAMM class. We ask that every woman pay something.

Tuition is normally $395 ($345 if you sign up with a friend, $295 with 2 friends).

We have full scholarships, partial scholarships, and payment plans available. For example: many women can afford our standard tuition of $395 – but not out of one paycheck. Some women apply for a payment plan so that they can take some weeks or months to pay off the balance.

Other women are homeless, or single mothers, or for other reasons could never afford the entire $395. They may apply for a full or partial scholarship- requesting that WAMM cover anywhere from $5 to $390 of their tuition.

In order for WAMM to hold a place for you in the current class you must submit some sort of financial deposit. This is usually $100 but can be another amount that works for your finances.

HOW TO APPLY FOR A SCHOLARSHIP OR PAYMENT PLAN
Write a brief letter explaining why you'd like to take the course, what you can afford to pay, and when exactly you can pay it. Give exact dates and amounts if you are asking for a payment plan.

Please enclose a copy of your most recent federal income tax form, (not required for those applicants who live in subsidized housing). If someone else claims you as a dependent, please enclose a copy of their tax form. (Their income will not be considered as available to you.)
