There is an initial application fee of $50 which is to be submitted with your application. After you are accepted into the program, there is a non-refundable deposit of $300 for enrollment, which will be applied toward the tuition and fees. Please note you will not be able to use financial aid or student loan money to pay this deposit as the financial aid and student loan money does not fund until just a few days prior to the program start date.
