Sliding Scale Tuition Information:
The full cost of tuition is $650 per week. If this cost is a barrier to participation, new this year we will be offering families the opportunity to opt into a sliding scale tuition program. The goal is to make registration easier and simpler than a traditional financial aid process.
The Sliding Scale Tuition Program provides families an opportunity to consult with a member of the Student Services Team over the phone during the registration process. In this conversation, you will be asked to generally provide information about your family’s annual income. You will not need to submit any paperwork for verification. Based on your family’s income, your tuition will be set based on the the income ranges listed below:
| Approximate Annual Income | Sliding Scale Discount & Tuition Fee |
| $50,000 or less | 75% off, $162.50 per week |
| $50,000 – $80,000 | 50% off, $325 per week |
| $80,000 – $110,000 | 25% off, $487.50 per week |
| $110,000 and above | 0% off – $650 per week |
All participants will need to pay a one time $40 non-refundable registration fee.
That said, we understand everyone’s financial situation is different. If you opt into the sliding scale tuition program, you can also apply for financial aid and go through that more formal process so we can get a fuller picture on your financial aid situation.
As this is a brand new program, we understand you may have questions! Feel free to reach out to our friendly Student Services Team today to get your questions answered. You can reach us at 617 482-7494 ext 54 or email us at registration@cmcb.org.
