Financial Aid

A few partial-tuition scholarships are available mainly to four-week students. Contact Robert Boyers for more information on financial aid.

Graduate Credit

To receive graduate credit consult the Director, Robert Boyers, at the time of your application.  He can be contacted rboyers@skidmore.edu or 518-580-5156. Only students accepted into the four week program of one discipline can receive graduate credit. There is an additional tuition/fee charge of $350.

Deposits and Payments

Students enrolling in the Institute for two weeks are required to send a nonrefundable deposit of $400 to hold their places in the 2008 program. Students enrolling for four weeks are required to send a nonrefundable deposit of $700. The deposit is required upon acceptance into the program. The balance is due as noted on an invoice issued by the College's Bursar's Office.

NYSSWI Refund Policy

Because class size is limited, and because we frequently must turn students away if they request a class after it has been filled, we require full payment -- to secure your place in the program and as assurance that you intend to enroll -- well in advance of the start of Institute. After June 1, 2008 there will be no refund of tuition. 100% of room and board fees are, however, refundable up until the first day of the Institute, and on a pro-rated basis thereafter. In exceptional circumstances, requests for refunds beyond these parameters may be made to the Dean of Special Programs.
