You have inquired about further reductions in the fees.

PLEASE KNOW:
We have created a special reduced fee for the Russian program for ALL: 10% off the tuition of $8600, this is $860 less than the 2012 program price.
 
Pay for the whole program in one/two payments before the start of the program - then full tuition will be 7200, an additional $500 off full price.Please consider asking for support as  a loan from a friend, family, or a bank, you will save $500. We have been offering reduced fees and financial plans at no extra cost, but it requires hours of collections and risk of loss of payments and we would rather just focus on teaching you.

We have very limited additional discounts available for people with low income, single mothers of small children, full-time artists. This is an additional 10% off and we wish to help a few people flying/ taking the train in from Siberia or other Russian towns, needing child care and such.
We have NO extra funding, personal wealth, or other sources of support for this program at the moment. If you have any suggestions on how to make this program more accessible, let us know!

We will only be giving out a few of these small scholarships - we are aware of the situation in Covid and in Russia economically and hope this small offer helps a few people make it into the program!
.  
We sometimes also offer work-study options, mostly for tasks before or after the module. We realize that taking on this program will be a challenge for most Russian people and that this act of investing in yourself contributes to your own commitment and learning, as well as your success in this program!!
