Refund Policy - Residential and Day Programs
Prior to the Start of SIG
Because SIG must hire staff and confirm space at its host institutions long before the start of the summer sessions, we are unable to make program refunds to students who cancel within 30 days of the program start date. Please see refund information listed below:
Prior to 45 days of program start: 100% refund
31-44 days prior to program start: 50% refund
Within 30 days prior to programs start: no refund
If SIG cancels a program before the session begins, SIG will issue a refund of program fees paid. If a program is terminated during the session, SIG will consider the circumstances and may, in its sole discretion, issue a partial refund or credit. Under no circumstances, medical or otherwise, will SIG refund the $99 application fee due with the application. Refunds are not provided once the session begins.
Medical Withdrawal
The SIG World Class Coverage Insurance Protection Plan provides some tuition relief in the event of a medical withdrawal both prior to and during the SIG program. It also provides medical coverage in such an event. Learn more about the SIG insurance plan.
Need-Based Financial Assistance & Scholarships
SIG/NSGT, along with the support of additional donors, is pleased to be able to offer financial assistance to some students who wish to attend our program and ask that you please read the following information carefully before applying for financial assistance from SIG/NSGT.
Availability of SIG/NSGT financial assistance varies by campus and is not intended to cover the total cost of the student’s attendance at SIG.
Financial assistance awards serve as the final payment on your account and are not attributed until all other fees are paid.You must continue to adhere to the SIG payment schedule while you are awaiting our decision. Financial assistance is awarded in a first-come, first-served basis.
To qualify for assistance, you must send a completed SIG program application and include the non-refundable $99 SIG application fee. SIG will begin accepting financial assistance applications on November 14, 2016. Applicants need to be accepted into the program before financial assistance applications are reviewed.
Please note that all financial funds for summer 2017 have been depleted.
Inquiries about financial assistance should be addressed to financialassistance@giftedstudy.org.
