Each student's tuition must be paid in full at the time of acceptance, and any scholarships received will be subtracted from the next tuition payment. A student may receive more than one scholarship at a time, unless otherwise stated, as long as the sum of all awards does not exceed fifty percent of the total tuition costs for the semester. But if the scholarship itself is at least 50%, this rule does not apply.

In the event that a student is involved in a disciplinary situation, the Institute maintains the right to rescind the scholarship at any time.
