Tuition & payment options

More flexibility for your athlete's journey.

Every family's situation is different. Explore ways to pay over time, use eligible scholarship funds, or request additional support—then choose the next step that fits your family.

Choose your path

Three ways JCG may be able to help.

These options work differently. Financing is provided by a third party, scholarship funds are governed by Step Up For Students, and Sponsor a Gem assistance is managed by JCG.

02

Scholarship funds

Step Up For Students

Eligible families may be able to use Step Up For Students scholarship funds for qualifying JCG services, subject to the rules of their scholarship program.

  • Confirm your scholarship and available funds
  • Ask JCG for the required service documentation
  • Follow the current Step Up payment or reimbursement process
Eligibility, qualifying services, available funds, documentation requirements, direct payment, and reimbursement approval are determined by Step Up For Students. JCG cannot guarantee coverage.
03

Additional support

Sponsor a Gem

JCG's community sponsorship and athlete-assistance program connects eligible needs with support from businesses, organizations, and individual donors.

  • Learn how the assistance process works
  • Submit a confidential athlete-assistance request
  • Explore optional fundraising opportunities
Submitting a request does not guarantee assistance, a specific amount, or a payment timeline. JCG reviews requests and available support individually.

Questions parents ask

Before you choose an option.

Does JCG decide whether I am approved for Affirm or Klarna?

No. The selected payment provider determines eligibility and the terms offered. JCG only confirms the eligible balance and provides the correct checkout path.

Can I finance only part of my balance?

Contact Ms. Judy before beginning checkout. JCG will confirm the exact balance that can be processed and whether a partial amount is available for your account.

Does Step Up automatically cover cheer expenses?

No. Coverage depends on the athlete's scholarship program, the service, available funds, and current Step Up For Students rules. Ask JCG for documentation, then confirm eligibility through Step Up.

Can JCG guarantee financial assistance?

No. Sponsor a Gem assistance depends on eligibility, the request, available funding, and JCG review. Submitting an application does not guarantee an award.
