All applications received after February 1, 2009 will be considered on a Rolling Admissions basis. Immediate acceptance into the program is possible until we have a total of 36 students acceptanced. Once we have 36 acceptances, applications will be responded to in the order received. (Applications may be reviewed more quickly than this, but will be placed on hold for response).

A $2000 payment is due to secure enrollment and scholarship award (which includes a $250 non-refundable enrollment fee) within one week of acceptance. First payment is due by August 15th, or immediately upon acceptance, whichever occurs first.
