Financial Aid
ATDP is a self-supporting program funded by student fees. However, partial or full financial aid is available to qualified applicants. We are unable to provide financial aid to children of international students or those coming from outside of California.
To apply for financial aid, submit one photocopy of your official, signed 2007 Federal Income Tax Return and all Schedules per applicant.
We require the tax forms of both parents. For preliminary consideration and to avoid delay in submitting your application, you may submit your 2006 return if your 2007 return is not yet available. We may ask for your 2007 return at a later date. Do not send original documents. If there are special circumstances, please submit a letter of explanation and photocopies of any supporting documents. Requests for financial aid are due by the application deadline of Wednesday, March 26, 2008. If payment of the non-refundable $30 processing fee poses a financial hardship, please attach a signed note of explanation with the tax forms in lieu of the payment.
Your application WILL NOT be held up in any way pending a financial aid decision. All decisions regarding admission and course placement are made independently of financial aid status. However, we can only evaluate your request for financial aid once we receive all required documents. Financial aid decisions are based on total resources, not only on household income.
Applicants who are accepted to ATDP will be mailed notification of the amount of financial aid awarded on Friday, April 25, 2008. Awards cover tuition and materials fees only; they do not cover transportation or other expenses. Families who need to pay tuition in installments will have until Friday, July 25 to do so. Details will be included in the acceptance letter.
