We have 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. 


The financial aid application review process is now open for academic year 2025-26 online courses.

Please note that once the allocated resources are exhausted, the application period will be closed for the year. The application process for academic year 2026-2027 online courses is expected to open in early 2026. We recommend that individuals who anticipate needing financial assistance in the future submit their applications early to ensure consideration.
