Financial Aid
Apply for Financial Aid from CEP
Students who wish to apply for financial aid should submit the Financial Aid Application, along with all supporting documentation. Financial aid applicants are expected to pay the application fee and tuition deposit. Applicants will not be considered for financial aid until all admissions and financial aid materials have been received. An award letter reflecting the amount of financial aid granted and balance due will be sent with the acceptance packet.
Students seeking aid are encouraged to apply early, as funds are limited and are granted on a rolling basis. Students seeking aid are also encouraged to apply for the payment plan, as financial aid awards typically do not cover the entire tuition fee.
Requests for assistance typically exceed resources. The average adjusted gross income of those families receiving aid in 2008 was under $35,000. For this reason, families are discouraged from applying for financial aid if their adjusted gross income is greater than $50,000.
Seek Other Sources of Support
We strongly suggest that students with need also seek outside financial support. Students who are admitted to the program should start sending out letters soliciting additional funds right away. Schools, local religious or community organizations, businesses, local government offices, friends and relatives are all potential sources of support. Some students have successfully raised their entire tuition this way!
Consider the Payment Plan
A four-month payment plan option is available to all students. Families who do not apply for financial aid, or apply for but do not receive financial aid, will be assessed a service charge of $50 for using the payment plan. Students who wish to apply for the payment plan should submit the Payment Plan Application. The first payment is due upon the student's acceptance to the program, and subsequent payments are due on the 15th of each month following.
