Application Procedures
Application requirements include forms and copies, recommendations, transcripts/grades, test scores, and essays. No incomplete applications are considered!
Each student is considered fully and thoroughly on the basis of his or her abilities and accomplishments as presented through the completed application. A decision can not be reached on applications until all forms have been received.
Applications are considered as they
are received. Applicants will be notified of their status (accept,
wait list, reject) within two weeks of receipt of a completed application.*
Places will be reserved for 7th graders who do not receive test results
until late spring. A deposit of $300 is due when acceptance is received.
This nonrefundable program deposit of $300
reserves a place and will be applied against program fees. This deposit
indicates a commitment to attend TAG and reserves placement in classes
and the residence hall.
A “balance due” statement (all fees minus any scholarship awards) with a payment schedule will be sent. Half of the fees must be paid by April 10 and remaining fees by May 18. Program fees are not refundable after May 18 except for documented medical/family emergencies. Payment may be made by check, money order, VISA, or MasterCard. Students who register after the dates above are expected to make timely payments to meet required deadlines. Any other financial arrangements must be made with the program director.
Financial Aid
Limited financial aid based on demonstrated need is available. Applicants will be notified of the amount of available financial aid upon acceptance. Because financial aid resources are limited, students seeking financial assistance are advised to apply as early as possible. Aid requests must include a completed Financial Aid Form (with all requested information provided), a copy of the first page of the Parents’/Guardians’ 2008 federal income tax form—or, if it is not available, a copy of the first page of the 2007 return and a copy of the 2008 W-2 form(s). Financial aid is awarded on the basis of accurate information. Please complete the forms carefully and completely.Cost
The application fee is $35. The program cost is $2900, which includes tuition, room and board (including
linen service), books, and most supplies. A limited numbers of scholarships are
awarded on the basis of need.
For students accepted after the payment due dates, fees are due upon acceptance.
