Purpose
The Alexander Graham Bell (AG Bell) Association for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing has three different funding programs:
Financial Assistance for Hearing Technology provides financial assistance for the evaluation and purchase of hearing aids for children. Awards average $1,500 annually but can range higher or lower.
The AG Bell Pre-School-Age Financial Aid Program is for families of pre-school age children who are learning Listening and Spoken Language. Awards help families with many expenses including auditory support services, speech-language therapy, preschool tuition, and hearing technology.
The Parent and Infant Financial Aid Program is for families of infants and toddlers under the age of 4 who are pursuing a spoken language outcome for their child. This program can assist with the cost for hearing technology and related services.
