Scholarship Assistance

In order to be considered for a need-based scholarship, we must receive a completed Application for Scholarship Assistance by April 1, 2019. Please note that Summer Experiences are not eligible programs for aid through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Scholarships are determined by considering several factors, including family income, family size, number of siblings in college, and housing expenses. Scholarships do not cover travel to and from the program or personal expenses. There are no income cut-offs for scholarship assistance. All students are welcome to apply.

Students may wish to speak with their school counselor or others in their community concerning additional sources of potential financial assistance. We have put together a Fundraising Guide that may be helpful.

Registration and Deposit

Once a student has been admitted to the program, we require a $500 nonrefundable deposit and completed registration forms no later than May 1, 2019. This is not a postmark deadline, but the date that all paperwork and deposit must be received in our office. The $500 nonrefundable deposit will hold a student's place in the program and is deducted from the total program fee due. The remaining balance is due no later than June 1, 2019.

Cancellation Policy

Should unforeseen circumstances require a student to cancel their registration for the program, we will issue a refund of the program fee as follows:

  • June 1, 2019: Last day to cancel and receive 100% refund, excluding the $500 nonrefundable deposit.
  • June 15, 2019: Last day to cancel and receive 50% refund, excluding the $500 nonrefundable deposit.
  • July 1, 2019: Last day to cancel and receive 25% refund, excluding the $500 nonrefundable deposit.
  • After July 1, 2019: No refunds will be issued.
