Please note that we have concluded our financial aid application review process for Academic Year 2024-2025 Online Programs (Courses with start dates July 1, 2024-June 30, 2025). If interested in applying for financial aid, please select an online course in our 2025-26 Academic Year (courses with start dates July 1, 2025 or later). Funding for our 2025-26 Online Programs is limited, as such early applications are encouraged.
We have also concluded our financial aid application review process for 2025 On-Campus Programs. We encourage those who may need assistance in the future to apply for aid as early as possible. We are committed to serving all talented youth regardless of financial circumstances. Financial assistance is available based on need.
