We accept applications from students currently enrolled in grades 10 through 12 for the 2009/2010 academic year. Every year we have more applicants than there are places in the program so we urge you to apply as early as possible to avoid disappointment. If your completed application is postmarked on or before January 22, 2010 and you are accepted into the program, you are guaranteed a place in your first choice of Major and Minor class (subject to minimum enrollment limits). After that date, courses and the program fill on a strict first-come, first-served basis - and we continue to accept applications until the program is full.

ENROLLMENT AND FEES

The comprehensive fee for each program is $7195 US. This fee includes: all tuition and instruction, accommodation, breakfast and dinner daily, transportation to and from the airport, all books and materials, guest presentations, workshops, field trips, and all cultural and social activities organized by the program, including sports, excursions, museum and gallery admissions, and theatre tickets. It does not include airfare, lunch daily, or personal expenditures such as snacks, laundry, souvenirs, and so on.

APPLICATION AND PAYMENT

Students must currently be in grades 10-12 for the 2009-2010 academic year.

Rolling Admissions Policy

We accept applications throughout the year until the programs are full.

Course Guarantee

We recommend that students apply as early as possible. Students whose applications are postmarked on or before each program’s course guarantee date and who are accepted into the program will automatically receive their first choice of courses, subject to enrollment levels. The course guarantee date for The Cambridge Tradition is January 22, 2010.

Students who cannot be placed into their first choice of Major or Minor course will be automatically placed in their second or third choice, subject to the availability of that course, and also placed on the waiting list for their first choice.

Admissions

Decisions are made within 4 weeks of a completed application’s receipt. If wait-listed for a class, the student will be notified as soon as a space becomes available. Applicants are only considered for admission to a program once all of their necessary documentation is completed and received.

A completed application consists of four parts: a completed and signed application form, a deposit check, a copy of a transcript or most recent report card, and three copies of a personal statement.

If a class is cancelled due to low enrollment levels, students will be notified immediately and placed in their second choice. Students who wish to change courses may do so in writing to our New York office before June 1, 2010.

Applications require a deposit check of $1050 US ($1,175 US with Medical Emergency Cancellation Insurance), payable to F.I.E. or The Foundation for International Education. NOTE: Scholarship applicants are not required to send a deposit check as part of their separate application.

The balance of payment for tuition is due by April 1, 2010.

MEDICAL EMERGENCY CANCELLATION INSURANCE

Medical Emergency Cancellation Insurance is available for $125 US per application, to protect against unavoidable cancellations due to documented medical emergencies involving the student or immediate family members. This insurance can ONLY be purchased at the time of application and is not refundable.

The refund policy is as follows:

Payments, including the deposit, are refundable until April 1, 2010.

SCHOLARSHIPS

A small number of full scholarships are available based equally on financial need and the student’s ability to contribute to the program in the broadest sense. Applicants can either contact our New York office directly to obtain a separate scholarship application form or download one from here. The standard application form is not to be used in a scholarship application. Completed scholarship applications must be received in New York by February 26, 2010. Please ensure that you send your application early enough to allow time for delivery. Applications received after this date cannot be accepted regardless of the postmark date.
