Our commitment to making our programs accessible
We try and find a balance between hiring highly qualified and experienced teachers, keeping low ratios of staff to participants, and keeping our program costs low. Through Financial Aid, we aim to make our programs affordable and accessible to all participants, to not let money be a barrier to participation. Our financial aid to families provides that extra support to make participation possible. We give out about $30,000 each year.
PROCESS TO APPLY FOR FINANCIAL AID
-
- Register for a program!
- During the registration process, select that you would like to apply for financial aid
- Fill out both the program registration and financial aid process and submit your registration
- Please carefully consider the amount you can afford to pay, so that we can divide our funds between as many participants as possible
- Wait for a response (we try and respond within 1-2 weeks of receiving this)
HOW IS THE FINANCIAL AID AMOUNT DETERMINED
Our financial aid fund is supported through generous contributions and tuition from participants able to pay the full amount. Financial aid available for each program depends on the size of program and how much we’ve raised that year. We try to match every family’s need with funding, though this isn’t always possible. We do not offer full financial aid at this point. Please contact us if you have any questions.
DEADLINE FOR FINANCIAL AID REQUESTS
The earlier you submit a financial aid request the more likely we are to be able to accommodate your request. If you have any questions, please contact us.
