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.
