What is the financial aid process?

If you’re accepted, you’ll receive an acceptance letter inviting you to enroll, with a link to the financial aid application. To be considered, select the financial aid option during enrollment and submit a brief application.

To confirm your intent to join and reserve your spot, we ask that you submit the $200 Community Membership fee alongside your financial aid application. This fee represents the minimum commitment we ask of all Fellows, even for those who receive a full financial aid award for the program fee. This ensures that every Fellow is actively invested in their professional development and contributes to both the program and the broader community. Covering the community membership reflects this shared commitment.

Our team will then review your submission and send you a financial aid offer. We aim to review financial aid applications within 2 weeks and faster when possible. This award is applied to the remaining $1,790 program fee and is split into three installments to make participation more manageable.

If you choose not to accept your offer, we’ll refund the community membership fee.
