School applications are reviewed every month. If we need more information from you, we'll email you using the address you provided. Expect a response by the end of the month after you apply. However, if you apply in February, expect a response in April due to the high volume of funding applications our team will be processing.

Applying for one doesn't affect the other.
Don't delay your funding application while waiting for a school response. Proceed with both.
If I receive an acceptance letter does that mean I am finished?
No! Receiving approval for your school application means you may enroll, however, you will still need to provide tuition. Your priority now should be securing funding. Most students secure funding by applying for Choice or SNSP. The Choice and Special Needs Scholarships are limited. To accept your seat at Aug Prep you must confirm you have funding.
Do I need funding?
