Financial Aid

The LaunchX team wants the program to be accessible to students who are admitted. For this reason, admission is need-blind, meaning that it will never hurt your chances of getting in if you require financial assistance. Both domestic and international students can apply for financial need assistance if their family’s income for the previous two years was under $100,000. The amount of financial need is determined on a per-student basis and can’t be defined until we review all of the necessary financial paperwork that verifies the family’s income.

To apply for financial support, indicate your interest in applying within the application form, including answering the additional questions. Admitted financial-need students will need to provide income statements (typically tax documents showing income of both parents) for the past two years, though additional information may be asked to understand the family financial status. Bank statements may not be used as a substitute to show income documentation.

We also offer application fee waivers to students who provide evidence of need.
