2009 Course Tuition and Financial Assistance
Summer Course tuition for 2009 is $4,580; there are no additional fees. On-campus room and board expenses vary depending on length of course and may be found on the Housing and Dining web-site. Most students who request financial aid receive substantial awards towards tuition; in recent years, the MBL has provided up to 85% of full tuition assistance to all summer students requesting it. Financial assistance is available to both U.S. and non-U.S. citizens.
In most cases, the MBL expects the costs of attending a course to be shared among the student, his/her home institution, and the MBL in a three-way commitment. We expect that students will discuss this obligation with their home department or institution, and request/secure financial aid to be applied toward these expenses. We also expect students to realize some of their own expenses by providing personal funds as available. MBL financial aid is based upon need; applying for financial assistance will not affect your opportunity for admission to an MBL course.
Limited financial assistance is available for both U.S. and non-U.S. citizens attending certain Special Topic Courses. Refer to Table below.
Students wishing to apply for financial assistance may do so on the applicable course application form. Your request for financial assistance will have no bearing on your opportunity for admission to any of the MBL courses.
