When you are accepted to Leangap®, a non-refundable $700 USD deposit to secure your spot must be made within 10 business days of being accepted. The remainder of the tuition and complete paperwork are due 14 days after the deposit is made.

Unfortunately, we can't refund a deposit after it's been made because once we receive your deposit it goes directly to our payment processor for safekeeping for when the program starts.

The rest of the tuition is only refundable if the program start date is 30 days or more away. If the program start date is in less than 30 days, we unfortunately can't offer a refund because all associated costs are paid upfront at that point.

 

Financial Aid

Financial aid is available and is completely need-based, meaning we will provide a scholarship if you are admitted and you demonstrate you can't pay in full due to your financial situation. If you're driven, passionate and accomplished, we will make it possible for you to attend.

You can receive anywhere from 10% to 80% off the tuition cost. We do not offer full-ride scholarships at this time. Once you are admitted into the program you will need to send an email to us with your parent's income statements for the last 12 months. We will review your case then.
