2023-2024 Academy at SOAR Tuition: $67,000
Application Fee & Enrollment Deposit
Applicants will be required to submit a $100 non-refundable application fee. Within two weeks after acceptance, a $2,000, non-refundable enrollment deposit is due. (This includes a $1,000 deposit for each term). We accept check, money order, MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover. The enrollment deposit will be applied toward the tuition balance.
After a student is enrolled, if they must cancel for any reason, the non-refundable enrollment deposit may be used for another SOAR program, or can be considered a tax-deductible donation.
Fee Payment
When completing your application, you will be required to submit payment information for all future billing, including tuition balances and additional expenses that may occur. A minimum payment of 50% of the full year tuition is due on or before July 15th for fall semester, with the remaining 50% of the full year tuition due December 1 for spring semester. (Tuition is due within two weeks of acceptance if admitted after this date). Families who pay tuition for the entire year by July 15th will receive a tuition reduction of $1,000. No services will be delivered to the student until both the tuition and $350 refundable damage deposit have been received.

Spending Money
Damage to SOAR Equipment
Although we take precautions to ensure gear is treated respectfully, we reserve the right to charge students for damage done to SOAR equipment due to negligence or non-compliance. This may include damage to tents, rental vans, cabins, etc. Parents will be notified of the damage that occurred.
Additional Expenses
Your child may incur additional expenses. This includes prescription medication costs if your child gets sick, damage fees for intentional damage done to SOAR property in excess of the damage deposit, or additional airline expenses traveling to or returning home from the program. In the event, any additional fees occur, SOAR will either use the student’s debit account or will contact parents and charge the payment method on file.
