Tuition
Tuition varies by course and length. Specific tuition costs are provided in each course description in our catalog.
Enrolling early is risk-free. Withdraw at least 90 days before your course start date and receive a full tuition refund.
Full-time Johns Hopkins University staff can use their tuition remission benefit to receive 50% off most courses* for which their child is eligible.
CTY is an education provider, not a traditional summer camp. Families seeking reimbursement from flexible spending accounts must work with their benefits provider to determine whether CTY programs qualify.
Payment Plans
Families can pay for most CTY courses* in monthly installments, allowing them to spread out tuition costs while securing their spot early in a course.
There is a fee associated with using a payment plan.
Learn more about payment plans.
Financial Aid
CTY offers limited need-based financial aid to families who qualify.
Families may apply during each term's application window through MyCTY. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Families may submit one application per term — fall and spring aid may be applied toward one online course, and summer aid may be applied toward one online and one in-person course, if funds are available.
When the application is closed, families can complete a Financial Aid Interest Form to express interest. No financial documentation is required for the interest form.

*Tuition remission, payment plans, and financial aid are not available for Educational Travel courses.
