PARISH DISCOUNT AND SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

If students are sponsored and paid for by their parish, a discount of $100 is offered to the parish. In that case, payment should be made by parish check. For those students not taking the full course load, a discount is available, to be determined by the number of classes taken and by whether or not the student requires room and board. Limited scholarship funding is available to offset tuition costs, to be allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please contact Irina du Quenoy at irinaduquenoy@gmail.com for more details.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: June 15, 2023. We strongly suggest registering earlier, to allow us to maximally plan ahead in terms of any program adjustments that may need to be made due to continuing Covid concerns.

NOTE: Registration after the deadline is based on availability of space.
