Aid is awarded for one course per program per academic year for Summer Programs, Online Programs, or Family Academic Programs. Academic years start July 1st.
Students must be a U.S. citizen or eligible permanent resident in order to be considered for financial aid.
Early applications are strongly encouraged due to limited available funds.
Students with an account balance from the previous year will not be eligible for financial aid until the account is paid in full.
Financial aid applicants are expected to pay the application fee and appropriate reduced deposit based on income information provided. Please review the full payment required at the time of application (PDF) based on your income for Summer and Online Programs. If the application fee is required, please note that it will be non-refundable.
Students will not be assigned to a course until their financial aid application has been evaluated.
