FINANCIAL AID
Financial Aid is available for students in the Pre-Professional and Professional Programs. We are unable to offer financial aid for students in the Preschool Program. The application is open now for the 2026-2027 school year.
- Applications are not considered until the student has registered for the 2026-2027 Academy Year.
- Applications may take up to one month for review. Decisions will be sent by email.
- Financial assistance is not automatically renewed from previous Academy years. If you applied for financial aid for the 2026 Summer Programs, you do not need to submit an additional application.
- Financial assistance covers only a portion of tuition and is typically no more than 25% of the total tuition.
*The financial aid application fee is not refundable under any circumstances.
