Applicants offered admission to the program must submit a non-refundable deposit of $1,750 to reserve a spot in the program. This deposit is a pre-payment of tuition and will be credited to your student account on the 11th business day of the semester.  

International applicants: For financial verification purposes, international applicants who are admitted are required to verify funding for the first 12 months, including tuition and other estimated living expenses, with the Declaration & Certification of Finances Form. A list of additional living expenses is available at the Office of the Registrar. You can also visit cost.illinois.edu for an estimate of the cost of attendance.

This MSF program offers a limited number of scholarships to program participants.
