Financial Assistance
The purpose of the Summer Academy’s need-based aid program is to support the college goals of U.S. students from groups that are under-represented in higher education and to advance the diversity of the student body in the Academy. Limited funding is available to provide a partial grant of up to 50% for families that cannot afford full tuition. Financial aid will be considered after the student is accepted into the program. A letter regarding the family's financial circumstances should be submitted with the student's Summer Academy application for admission. Applicants are encouraged to research other financial support opportunities in their local communities, such as churches, banks and employers.
