As part of the formal application for admission, applicants **must secure time sponsorship** from their employer. Support from your employer for time out of the office is a necessary and critical component of the application process. Some organizations will also offer financial sponsorship. **Financial sponsorship** is **not required** to apply or enroll in the program. Financial aid is available.
