General Requirements

We expect all applicants to cover their tuition in full.  However, Under the Volcano offers partial need-based financial aid to a small number of participants based on proof of monthly income and expenses. Such proof (tax forms, pay stubs, bank statements, receipts for housing or loans) must be uploaded with your application.  

Processing these requests involves a great deal of extra staff time. Please do not request financial aid if you don’t need it. 

If finances will be an issue, we encourage you to seek outside funding from other sources. Upon request we will provide successful applicants with a formal letter to help them seek additional support.
