How to Apply for Financial Aid

Talent Search

Select the appropriate tab for your program above

If your student is eligible for the Federal Free or Reduced-Price lunch program, follow these two steps for your Talent Search fee to be reduced and your testing fee waived:

  • Request a financial aid form from your school’s guidance counselor and have them sign it; you can also request a form from CTY at 410-735-6278.
     
  • Financial aid applicants must use the paper Talent Search application instead of applying online. Be sure to include the signed financial aid form in the same envelope with the paper Talent Search application, or by emailing ctyinfo@jhu.edu, or by calling 410-735-6278.
