When schools, colleges, and universities are ready to implement the AVID College Readiness System, AVID Center and district/campus leadership work together in a membership contract to suit the needs of the district/campus. Districts, schools, and colleges or universities can use federal and state funding, local funds, as well as private grants to help fund AVID at their site. To help, AVID Center has developed resources to assist school districts and institutions of higher education seek funding for their AVID implementation through grants, partnerships, and other sources. Students do not pay for AVID.
