After acceptance to the program you will be asked to submit a $400 non-refundable deposit in order to guarantee your place on the program or continue your internship placement. The deposit is applied towards the program fee. This deposit covers administrative and organizational costs connected with reviewing and processing your application, initiating your internship placement or a contact with an academic institution at which you would like to undertake your studies and reserving a place for you on the program.
Payment is usually requested within 2 to 4 weeks after initial acceptance to the program. Payments are submitted by check or money order and payable to Global Education Leadership. Please do not apply to the program if you will not be able to afford it.
