Tuition and Financial Assistance:
We are excited to announce that all accepted students will be awarded a $600 academic scholarship at their successful completion of the program!
The program fee is $1,450 per student. This amount represents about 40% of the total cost per student, with the remaining 60% covered by grants and donations.

As a college student, you automatically qualify for financial aid, which covers the full tuition amount. To ensure your tuition coverage, simply select the box indicating your intention to apply for full tuition coverage during the application process.

Upon acceptance into the program, you will receive confirmation of your acceptance along with confirmation of your tuition coverage. Please note that the program fee includes workshops, industry visits, access to laboratory equipment, materials, transportation, and some meals.

All applicants must pay a registration fee of $10 once accepted. If financial assistance is applicable, it will not cover your registration fee.

Should you have any questions or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us at contact@dnova.org.
Payment Option
The program fee is $1,450 per student. This amount represents about 40% of the total cost per student, the other 60% of the cost is covered by grants and donations. From these grants and donations we have created a fund to offset the cost of the program fee for families that cannot afford to pay the full amount. The level of financial assistance will depend on available funding and level of need. Each student may request up to $1,450 in assistance to offset the cost of the program.

To qualify for financial assistance a family will have to demonstrate financial hardship by providing evidence (e.g. student's participation in free and reduced meals at school, federal income tax returns, any document showing recurring expenses like mortgage, rent, student debt, etc.). We will consider financial assistance for families with a gross income below 300% of Federal Poverty Levels and/or students who are currently participating in Free and Reduced Meals programs.

Program fee includes workshops, industry visits, use of laboratory equipment, materials, transportation, and some meals. The program fee is collected only if and when the student is accepted into the program. Program fee is non-refundable after the program starts.

All applicants must pay a registration fee of $10 once accepted. If financial assistance is applicable, it will not cover your registration fee.

*If you would like to apply for financial assistance, please email your family's tax return information from the previous year to contact@dnova.org.
