Tuition and Financial Assistance:
The program fee is $950 per student. This amount represents about 40% of the total cost per student, with the remaining 60% covered by grants and donations.

As a college student, you automatically qualify for financial aid, which covers the full tuition amount. To ensure your tuition coverage, simply select the box indicating your intention to apply for full tuition coverage during the application process.

Upon acceptance into the program, you will receive confirmation of your acceptance along with confirmation of your tuition coverage. Please note that the program fee includes workshops, industry visits, access to laboratory equipment, materials, transportation, and some meals.

All applicants must pay a registration fee of $10 once accepted. If financial assistance is applicable, it will not cover your registration fee.

Should you have any questions or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us at contact@dnova.org.
Payment Option*
We are excited to announce that all accepted full time IDEAA Summer students will be awarded a $400 academic scholarship after their successful completion of the program!

The program fee is $950 per student. The prorated program fee for (1) week of attendance is $500 per student. This amount represents about 40% of the total cost per student, the other 60% of the cost is covered by grants and donations. From these grants and donations, we have created a fund to offset the cost of the program fee for families that are not able to pay the full amount. The level of financial assistance will depend on available funding and level of need. Each student may request up to $950 in assistance to offset the cost of the program.

To qualify for financial assistance, a family will have to demonstrate financial hardship by providing evidence (for example: student's participation in free and reduced meals at school, federal income tax returns (gross income) or w2's; and any document showing recurring expenses like rent, student debt, medical bills, etc.).

Financial assistance will be provided for families with a gross income below 300% of 2025 Federal Poverty Levels (FPL) and/or students who are currently participating in Free and Reduced Meals (FRM) programs. Full tuition assistance is provided for up to 200% of FPL and FRM participants. Between 201% and 300%, financial assistance is prorated.

Program fee includes workshops, industry visits, 3D printing/manufacturing equipment, materials, and some meals. The program fee is collected only if and when the student is accepted into the program. The program fee is non-refundable after the program starts.

All applicants must pay a registration fee of $50 once accepted. If financial assistance is applicable, it will not cover your registration fee.
