Tuition & Fees

Tuition is due by April 29, 2013. *Placement in the program is not guaranteed if payment in full is not received by this date.  Applications submitted after April 29, 2013 must include tuition payment in full at the time of submission.

A non-refundable $50.00 application fee is required at the time of application submission. Incoming MIIS students who are also applying to a degree program are not required to pay a second application fee for the summer program and should complete the pdf version of the application. There is an automatic charge for the application fee if you use the online system.  

A $200 tuition deposit is required within two of weeks of being accepted into the program. If you are applying by mail or in person, please submit your application fee along with your application (no cash please). Once you submit your application, you will receive an email with an admissions decision and instructions to pay the tuition deposit online.

Scholarship & Financial Aid Information

Please read the following information if you anticipate funding SILP tuition with a scholarship or financial aid.

1. If you plan to fund tuition for SILP with a scholarship, whether from an outside organization or your home institution, please provide a copy of your scholarship award letter with your application. (*This especially applies to incoming MIIS students who have applied for the Betty &  David Jones Scholarship.)
2. If you plan to fund tuition for SILP with financial aid, such as government or private loans, please provide confirmation that you will be receiving these funds. Confirmation can consist of a Financial Aid award letter or a statement from the loan vendor.

If you complete the online SILP application, please scan and email (languages@miis.edu), fax (831-647-3534), or mail (address below) your award/financial aid letter to us. If you complete the paper application (pdf), please send the confirmation with your application in the mail or deliver it in person. Submitting the necessary documents will act as a waiver for the required $200 tuition deposit. We will not begin processing the application until the scholarship or financial aid documents have been received.

Note: If you are reliant on receiving a scholarship or financial aid for SILP, please complete the necessary documentation BEFORE applying to SILP. Those receiving a scholarship or financial aid are still required to pay the $50 application fee.

If you have any questions about the application process, feel free to contact us. If you have questions about Financial Aid availability and offers, please contact the Office of Financial Aid at finaid@miis.edu or 831-647-4119.

Health Insurance

All SILP students are required to carry health insurance. Obtaining health insurance through MIIS is optional, however, students who do not have proof of insurance will be required to enroll into the Monterey Institute’s health insurance program. If you are covered by a personal health care plan during the summer, then you will need to "waive" the insurance option online.To waive OR enroll into the MIIS insurance plan, please visit the website for the Office of Student Services. 

Program Cancellation

Classes in any language may be cancelled due to insufficient enrollment. In the case of cancellation, applicants will be notified within one week of the application deadline date of April 29,2013. If your class is cancelled due to low enrollment or because an appropriate level of study is not available, you will receive a full refund.  *Dates and fees are subject to change.
