Credit Bearing Tuition Refund Schedule is as follows:

Tulane University Pre-College Programs reserves the right to change or cancel any program if conditions warrant. Notification will be provided as early as possible should this be necessary. Should a program be canceled due to low enrollment numbers, other program options will be offered, or refunds will be processed. For participants who want to add session weeks, we cannot guarantee availability. All participants are enrolled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Tulane University reserves the right to dismiss any participant, without reimbursement of payment, who is unable to adhere to the Tulane Pre-College Code of Student Conduct, or is disruptive in any other way. Understanding that pre-college participants are minors, the University employs specific rules and expectations to promote a safe and productive learning environment. Tulane may, in its sole discretion, require any participant who has violated the University’s policies to leave the program, and campus, at the participant’s expense. All parents and participants are encouraged to read carefully the Tulane Pre-College Code of Student Conduct agreement included in the enrollment paperwork and in the handbook.

A student who withdraws from any course/program may not continue to live in residential housing, participate in the program activities, or utilize university facilities.

Tulane University Pre-College programs works to support motivated students with demonstrated financial need. Limited aid is available and is awarded to families in need of assistance. The Financial Aid Committee, which operates independently of Tulane University’s Financial Aid office, awards scholarships as generously and equitably as possible; however, funding for financial aid is limited and the demand is great. In determining need, the committee considers a number of variables, including family finances, family size, and geographic differences in the cost of living.

Financial aid is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, so it is to your advantage to apply as early as possible. We cannot guarantee that all eligible applicants will receive aid. In most cases, financial aid does not cover all expenses; students must contribute to the cost of attending a program and are encouraged to seek other sources of funding. The aid a student may receive is nontransferable between programs and can only be used for the requested session.

To be considered for financial assistance, you will need to complete and submit your Pre-College Summer Program Application via your Green Wave Portal. Contact Tulane Pre-College for more information.

The Summer Program Achievement Scholarship Fund functions alongside Tulane Pre-College to offer summer scholarships to high-achieving young scholars residing in Louisiana. To be considered for a Summer Program Achievement Scholarship, you must submit the Financial Aid application form as part of your application.
