How tiers are set.
Each tier is anchored to the federal poverty guideline for your household size. Discounts apply to the $4,000 Season Plan only. Additional drill hours remain at $60 per hour for every family.
What you’ll need to apply.
- Form 1040, pages 1 and 2 from the most recent tax year. Social Security Numbers may be redacted.
- Schedule C, if any household income is from self‑employment.
- A brief written statement describing how aid would affect your student’s ability to participate. One paragraph is fine.
Recent hardship?
Recent job loss, a serious medical event, the death of a primary earner, or other extraordinary circumstances can be submitted alongside the tax return. We review hardship documentation case by case and place affected families in a more favorable tier when the situation warrants it.
How it works.
Step 1. Submit the application form with your tax documents.
Step 2. We review and confirm your tier within 5 business days.
Step 3. You receive a written aid offer with your season price.
Step 4. Accept the offer and enroll.
Tax documents are reviewed by Break Debate’s CEO only. They are stored in an encrypted folder, are never shared with coaches or staff, and are deleted at the end of each season. Aid status is never disclosed; all aid recipients receive identical coaching, materials, and access as full‑pay families.
