Tuition, Fees, and Expenses

Student Budget

The estimated budget for a Juilliard student for the nine-month academic year 2011-12 is calculated as follows:

Please note that all first-time college students are required to live in the residence hall. Students who live off campus should expect their housing and food costs to be higher than those listed here. They should also calculate local transportation costs of some $936 into their budgets. In those exceptional instances in which students are allowed to have a double major, the School charges an additional $9,300 in tuition. The additional charge for a secondary major is $4,650 (for one half hour per week lesson) or $9,300 (for one hour).

Application Fees

The application fee is nonrefundable. Make check or money order payable to The Juilliard School. All checks must be drawn on a U.S. bank. Payment by credit card is only available for applications submitted online at www.juilliard.edu/admissions. Please do not submit both applications.

Fee waivers are available only for eligible high school seniors whose requests are accompanied by 1. an official College Board fee waiver form (available through high school guidance offices) with a school official's signature; or 2. a letter on school stationery from a college/guidance counselor requesting a fee waiver for the applicant. Fee waivers are not available to applicants for transfer or graduate status. Applicants using the online application must submit fee waiver requests in advance of the appropriate application deadline.

Please note: Students who plan to apply for more than one department must submit a separate application and fee for each.
