We make it affordable!
Our high quality programs are worth $2,000 per student per year. MEF offers all students an 83% discount thanks to the generous donations of our many sponsors. Our low pricing is made affordable for
low-income families. All 2011-2012 School Year programs cost $250 per student for the entire academic year. Additional financial aid is available for those who qualify according to HUD standards.
For additional questions about program cost or next steps, see Application FAQ's or contact the appropriate Program Director or Program Manager.
