Cancellation and Refund Policy: If you cancel within 30 days of the start date of your Global Scholar Institute course, you won't receive a refund. If you cancel within 60 days but more than 30 days to the start date of your Global Scholar, you will receive a refund of 50% of the amount you've paid, excluding your non-refundable Application Fee. Space at our courses is limited, and we have to reserve student housing and vendors well in advance. As a result, our ability to provide refunds is limited strictly to these timetables. We understand that few can afford to pay for a program that they can't attend, so we strongly encourage you to consider our refund policy when making future plans and to plan carefully. We work hard to keep costs low and to provide a valuable program that is competitive with similar offerings, so we ask for your understanding to respect our Cancellation and Refund Policy.

Request For Financial Aid
I am of limited means, and if possible, I'd like to be considered for financial assistance to defray some program costs.
Financial aid may be available in some situations to defray a portion of our program costs. If such aid is available, we'll advise you of that fact. A request for financial aid will not adversely affect your application. If your participation in our program is contingent on receipt of financial aid, please contact our staff prior to submitting your application and paying your non-refundable Application Fee. Our goal is to make our program available to as many students as possible without regard to financial capability, so we ask that you not request financial aid unless it is absolutely necessary to participate in our program.
Referral
I was referred by another Global Scholar student who has attended or registered to attend in this calendar year.
We will offer both you and your friend or relative a $50.00 discount (in the form of a refund) if you were referred by a Global Scholar student who has attended or registered in this calendar year.
