A range of activities and intramurals are provided in the fee structure above; however, should a cadet wish to participate in select activities and sports such as paintball, horseback riding or dance, additional cost may be incurred at the family\'s discretion. Also, if a family wishes a cadet to have additional spending money, such funds are also separate.

Dual Enrollment
The cost of tuition will include any and all college credit hours that a high school student may take, however there will be an additional cost incurred for any books, material, or lab fees that are required as part of any coursework.

Payment and Contract
For the 2011-2012 school year, limited spaces in the High School are being competed for on a first-come, first-serve basis. Payment of tuition and fees can occur anytime between acceptance and enrollment but not later than the date of enrollment; down payments of 25% or 50% must be made by date of enrollment. It is the policy of the Office of Admissions that a cadet without a properly executed contract and payment arrangement will not be allowed to enroll.


Scholarship Information
Financial Aid is available and awarded as a scholarship based on demonstrated financial need and/or merit. Financial Aid is limited and awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis. Scholarships are adjudicated each year and while every effort is made to re-award scholarships to current recipients for follow on years, they are not guaranteed and, in most cases, if re-awarded, will be at least the same level the prior year. Keep in mind that while scholarships are awarded based on merit, they are kept based on merit, and all scholarship cadets are expected to set a positive example within the Corps of Cadets while staying in good academic standing.
Two types of scholarships are available:

Academic Scholarships: these are funded directly by the school and awarded based solely on Accumulative GPA's above 3.0.

Opportunity Scholarships: funded through the generosity of alumni and awarded based on attitude and willingness to succeed.

The information we provide to students and families looking for tuition financing assistance is for informational purposes only and is not a solicitation. Students should not rely on the information provided here in making their decision to borrow money, and should thoroughly research all products and services related to tuition financing on their own before reaching a decision.

Loans in any status other than \"Disbursed\" or \"Accepted\" will not be considered as payment in full. An enrolling cadet must have financial consideration at the time of enrollment, and loans considered to be \"Pending\" will not be accepted as consideration unless approved by the Controller.
