Scholarships are highly selective, as the applicant pool is very strong, and we are only able to award scholarships to 10-15% of applicants overall. Scholarships may be full or partial and will cover all or a portion of the program tuition. Students remain responsible for the cost of their airfare, daily lunch, and personal spending money. Scholarships do not cover the Paris Connection.
