Tuition Prepayment Plan

Some families have expressed interest in prepaying multiple years of tuition if possible to waive future tuition increases. We can offer this on a limited basis to a small number of students without grants. Prepayment is available for a maximum of up to five years and is protected with a 4% benefit as a floor.
