What is SelfDesigns system for helping pay for learning resources and services?
SelfDesign has created a unique system to pay vendors, merchants and service providers involving the use of a ‘reloadable credit card’ that is issued in the name SelfDesign Learning Community to enrolled learners. This card, pre-loaded with funds in the fall and re-loaded at other times during the year, is intended as a way for SelfDesign to pay suppliers and service providers directly for items and services the support each learner’s individual learning plan. Guidelines for using this card are provided to all families. Our system also allows for families to requisition cheques directly so that SDLC can pay for mentors and learning services.
