Financial aid is awarded on a competitive basis. Decisions are made on a rolling basis; however for those desiring full consideration for financial assistance, applications should be received by December 15th (International students) or as late as February 1st (US citizens or permanent US residents) for a Fall Quarter entrance into the program. Financial aid decisions for students seeking winter or spring entrance to the program are dependent on availability.

For those not seeking financial assistance, admission decisions are made as applications are received.  U.S. citizens should apply at least six weeks prior to the beginning of the quarter; and international applicants should apply six months prior to the beginning of the quarter they wish to enter in order to allow sufficient time for needed paperwork.
