Apparition classes will now be more readily available to those in need thanks to an initiative by the Department of Magical Transportation. While classes have always been available to Hogwarts students over the age of seventeen, members of society who have been unable to complete their schooling have found themselves unable to pay the Apparition Test Centre's fee for adult apparition classes.

Much like need-based scholarships at Hogwarts, citizens demonstrating great financial need can be granted a fee waiver through a short application process. Starting at the beginning of May, The Daily Prophet and the Department of Magical Transportation will be partnering to assure applications can be found in the hands of all working citizens. Applications will be included alongside the classifieds section, which can then be mailed to the secretary of the Department of Magical Transportation for reviewing.

We were able to speak with Mr. Benjamin Ross, head of the Department of Magical Transportation, about the initiative. "It's of great importance that the Ministry respond when the community voices their needs. We hope that with our new initiative, citizens will find now apparition — arguably the most convenient method of transportation — to be within their reaches."
