Refund Policy - Residential and Day Programs
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 after May 15.
Please see refund information listed below:
- Under no circumstances, medical or otherwise, will SIG refund the $99 application fee due with the application.
- Prior to March 15th, 100% of program fees is refundable.
- March 16th-May 15th: All fees paid minus the deposit, are refundable.
- After May 15th, no refund will be given.
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. Credits or refunds will not be issued for family emergencies, student dismissals, or voluntary early departures.
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. Applicants need to be accepted into the program before financial assistance applications are reviewed. Financial aid is for domestic students only.
We are no longer accepting financial aid applications.
Inquiries about financial assistance should be addressed to financialassistance@giftedstudy.org.
