Tuition & Fees

CBK Summer Programs tuition is comparable to other programs offering the same type of residential experience. Hourly rates reduce to $16/hour excluding the cost of overnight and weekend supervision and participation. Tuition covers campus room and board and facilities charges (the majority of tuition goes to Colorado School of Mines), staff salaries/housing, planning and evaluation for the courses, publications, books, materials, program shirt, and residential events and trips. Additional student expenses not covered in tuition include a lab fee for computer-based courses, and may include souvenirs from the campus bookstore, snacks, laundry, or other optional activities.

PAYMENT USING PAYPAL ACCOUNT OR CREDIT CARD

DIRECTIONS TO USE PAYPAL SYSTEM:

  • From the drop-down menu, select the item you would like to pay, then click "add to cart." Once you verify the item is in your shopping cart, click "continue shopping."
  • Your web browser may prompt you to close the PayPal window for security purposes - this will not cancel your order.
  • Continue adding items to cart (usually application fee + 50% tuition deposit). If you wish to pay in full, add the 50% deposit twice.
  • PayPal users do incur a percentage fee for this online convenience, built into listed amounts - this is why the numbers are slightly higher.
  • DOUBLECHECK your cart before hitting purchase - old amounts may still be saved! - and then PROCEED TO CHECKOUT.
  • Please make sure to print a receipt upon transaction - please note, the merchant will be listed as the Colorado Nonprofit Development Center, which handles our accounting.
Although we are a 501(c)3, expenses for overnight programs are not covered for independent care per IRS tax code. They may be covered under "education" deductions. Please talk with your tax advisor for further information.

 Application Fee    

All applicants must submit a nonrefundable $50 application fee. This fee is not applied to program tuition. Applications not including this fee (this must be included even with application for financial aid) or with insufficient funds are returned. Mailed fees must include student name/program.

Regular application ONLINE/date stamp deadline is
APRIL 18TH, 2015.

Tuition Deposit

A 50% tuition deposit is due with the application. This deposit is applied directly toward tuition and will not be refunded once the course assignment is accepted. If applying for financial aid, the tuition deposit is waived and any monies remaining due following the award must be paid by May 12th.       
The tuition deposit is refunded only if:

  • a student is not accepted to the program
  • a student cannot be placed in any of the three listed course choices
  • a student withdraws in writing before 4pm MST, May 16th, 2015 (a 9% fee is assessed with this late withdrawal)
  • a family applies for financial aid and does not receive a sufficient award

Students who must withdraw during a program due to hospitalization or the death of a parent, guardian, or sibling will receive a prorated refund not to exceed 50% of program fees paid, less the deposit and a 9% fee. If a student withdraws for any other reason after the first day of the program has started, or if a student is dismissed from the program, no monies will be refunded. Refunds take 4-6 weeks to process.

Tuition, Room, and Meals - if you mail fees, PLEASE INCLUDE student name and program
