Tuition Assistance​​​​​​​

  

Youth and Adult Programs

Needs-based
Non-competitive

Gage’s Adult and Youth Tuition Assistance program is need-based and designed to remove financial barriers to participation. Qualifying students may receive a 25%, 50%, or 75% discount on tuition, with full tuition waivers considered on a case-by-case basis.

Applications are accepted when a new quarter opens for registration. The application is straightforward, asking only how much of the tuition you can afford, and Gage will work to cover the rest within the available budget. The assistance you receive is valid for the entire academic year and can be applied to one class per quarter.

You will need to have an account in our new system before you can submit an application via the Tuition Assistance tab in our registration system.  We have a guide to activate your old gage account here. Once you are logged in, click on the Tuition Assistance tab at the end of the navigation bar.

If financial circumstances are a barrier, we are here to help. Contact us with any questions.


  

Atelier Programs

Gage's Atelier Tuition Assistance program is a need-based assistance program intended for Atelier Programs only. This excludes our Adult Classes, Youth Classes, Summer Camps, Open Studios sessions, and Atelier Extension Program. The Tuition Assistance funds can only be used for the academic year they are allocated for. 

To qualify for the Atelier Tuition Assistance program, students must complete the following steps:

Complete an Atelier application
Receive Acceptance to an Atelier Program

You can apply for an Atelier program here. Please note that you will need to log in or create a Gage Student account.

While this program does not anticipate a full tuition relief to any one person, Gage's goal is to offer as many students as possible with an amount of assistance using the funds that have been approved within the budget for the respective academic year. 

Atelier Tuition Assistance applications are open early summer and close within a month. Please see the calendar below for application dates.

If you have any specific questions about Atelier Tuition Assistnace, please contact Allison Vu at vu.a@gageacademy.org.
