FAQs – Financial Information

  • How much does it cost to enroll?

    Please see the Cost – BMEI and Cost- EEI pages for tuition and program fees. A limited number of need-based scholarships are available.

    International students who plan to attend in-person will need to submit financial certification documents as part of the I-20 process.

  • Is the application fee refundable?

    Unfortunately, the application fee is non-refundable.

  • I cannot afford the application fee but would like to apply.

    If you qualify for an application fee waiver (i.e. participate in a free/ reduced lunch program, qualify for a test fee waiver from the College Board, etc.), please have your high school counselor submit a statement verifying your income status and stating the need for a fee waiver. Once approved, the EI office will provide you with the application fee waiver information.

  • I do not see a financial aid application online. How do I access it?

    A limited number of scholarships are available to applicants with demonstrated financial need.

    While completing the online application, once you indicate your intention to apply for financial aid, a link to the financial aid application will appear. Complete this portion of the application and upload a copy of your family’s current 1040 tax form or other appropriate documents, along with other requested materials, such as W-2’s.

    Your financial aid award, if any, will be included in your decision letter.

  • Is financial aid awarded to all applicants who request it?

    Award amounts are determined by many variables, including family finances and availability of funds. Not all financial aid applicants may be eligible for or receive a scholarship. Engineering Innovation staff cannot predict how much aid a student may be offered.

    Eligibility is based on current funds available for scholarships and the financial status of the applicant.

    Engineering Innovation is a financially self-sustaining program of the Johns Hopkins University (JHU) Whiting School of Engineering (WSE).  Thanks to the support of our sponsors, we can offer limited, need-based, financial assistance.  Neither JHU nor WSE underwrite any program costs.

  • I would like to attend a residential location; can I apply for financial aid?

    Unfortunately, we are not able to provide financial assistance to students interested in participating in a residential program.

  • Do you offer merit-based scholarships?

    No, we offer need-based scholarships only.  Applicants must provide copies of their parents’/guardians’ US 1040 as part of the process.

  • If I withdraw from the course, will I receive a refund?

    Please see the Cost – EEI page for the refund policy for Explore Engineering Innovation.

    Please see the Cost – BMEI page for the refund policy for Biomedical Engineering Innovation.
