Common Questions and Answers

1. Do you offer Scholarships?  No, as the program fee is already substantially lower than our counterpart programs around the nation due to sponsorships from various industry partners that offset the cost. The program fee covers tuition, fees equipment, supplies, and risk management insurance.
2. Do they need to bring spending money? The only things students will need spending money for are souvenirs or extra snacks. However, we are not responsible for lost or stolen items.  Students are encouraged to bring their own snacks.
3. May students leave campus? No, due to safety concerns we do not allow students to leave campus.

No specific requirements other than application and attending 8th-9th grade in Fall 2013.
