Financial Aid

Center for Talent Development offers a limited number of need-based scholarships. Awards vary, based on funds available and the number of applicants. Financial aid for the Saturday Enrichment Program (SEP) is awarded only to students who can benefit from SEP and are unable to afford the entire program fee due to financial hardship.

To be considered for financial aid, families applying for the Saturday Enrichment Program must submit the following:

• a $75 deposit (which includes the non-refundable $60 application fee);
• the SEP Application for Admission;
• the Financial Aid Application;
• a written statement describing in detail the nature of the financial need for the student; and
• a copy of the current year's tax return.

Families seeking financial aid are encouraged to apply early, as aid money is limited. The deadline to submit financial aid applications is September 19, 2009, for the fall session, December 26, 2009, for the winter session and March 20, 2010, for the spring session.

Decisions on financial aid applications are made only after receipt of all requested materials. An award letter reflecting the amount of financial aid granted, along with the balance due, will be sent prior to the beginning of the session.
