The estimated budget for a Juilliard student for the nine-month 2022-2023 academic year is calculated as follows :

Tuition, fees, insurance, and residence hall expenses are billed directly to students. Other amounts are estimates based on averages reported to us through student surveys, and will vary by student.

*For military and DoD MOU purposes, Juilliard’s per-credit tuition rate for 2022-23 is $2,177, based on full-time study of 12 credits per semester.

Newly admitted undergraduate students wishing to reserve their places in the next entering class must pay the enrollment deposit by May 2.

Newly admitted graduate students must pay the enrollment deposit by April 15.

If the enrollment deposit is not received by the deadline indicated, a student’s place at Juilliard will not be guaranteed.

The enrollment deposit is not refundable.

A bill for half of the annual tuition and all applicable fees will be available online in July and must be paid (in U.S. funds) by August 13, 2022. A bill for the second half of the tuition will be available in November and must be paid by December 1, 2022. Payments may be made in person, via wire transfer, online or by mail to the Office of Student Accounts.

Students who expect financial assistance (including Juilliard, federal, or state grants or loans) but who have not received funds or official guarantees by the above due dates, must make full tuition payments by the due date.

A deferred payment plan for tuition, fees, and on-campus room and board charges is available from Tuition Management Systems. Information on this plan may be obtained by contacting the Office of Student Accounts or online at juilliard.afford.com.

Note: Full tuition scholarships are provided for all students admitted to the Historical Performance, Artist Diploma in Opera Studies, and Doctoral programs. The following Artist Diploma programs are tuition free:

Jazz Studies
String Quartet Studies
Playwriting

Please note, however, that Artist Diploma students will be charged the Student Health Insurance Fee as well as the Health Services Fee, Orientation Fee and the Graduation Fee when applicable.

Please note that if any portion of the tuition is outstanding after the stated due dates, payments will be subject to the following late payment fees and sanctions:

Fall Semester

Spring Semester

A student whose tuition payments, scholarship, and loans for the semester exceed the amount due will receive a refund. Refund checks are available during the second week of the fall semester and are generally available the first week of the spring semester. Refunds will not be issued until all funding has been received by Juilliard and credited to the student’s account. Checks are available from the Office of Student Accounts and will be distributed to student mailboxes when possible.

If a student wishes to withdraw from the School, written notice must be given to the dean. The official date of withdrawal will be the day the dean is notified or the last day of attendance in any educationally related activity (including participation in performances), whichever is later.

For withdrawals that occur after the semester has begun, financial aid is adjusted, and reimbursement is required. Federal formulas will be applied to calculate the return of government funds. The return of government funds may create a balance due to Juilliard for which the student is then responsible. Students who have borrowed from any student loan program at any time during their academic career should contact the Financial Aid Office to learn more about repayment requirements before withdrawing.

If written notice of withdrawal is received by the dean before the first day of classes of either semester, the student has no responsibility for the semester’s tuition. Students who withdraw during either semester are liable for a portion up to 100 percent of that semester’s tuition, depending on the date of withdrawal, as follows:

Please note that residence hall refunds for students who withdraw from the School will follow the guidelines set forth in the residence hall contract.

Should a student be dismissed, the same policy of financial aid adjustment and tuition responsibility will apply.

If a student wishes to withdraw from the Exchange Program, written notice must be given to the Juilliard School Provost. If written notice of withdrawal is received before the first day of classes of either semester, the student has no responsibility for the semester’s tuition. Students who withdraw during the semester are liable for a portion up to 100 percent of that semester’s tuition, depending upon the date of withdrawal, as follows:

Should a student be dismissed, the same policy of tuition responsibility will apply.

To guarantee a room for the 2022-2023 academic year, returning students must pre-register for fall classes, and, during the sign-up period in May, pay a $150 residence hall reservation fee and sign a housing contract. All first-time college students and other new students must pay a $250 non-refundable enrollment deposit to the Office of Admissions; at the same time, these students must sign a housing contract and pay a $150 residence hall reservation fee. For all students, the $150 fee is retained by the School as a room damage deposit and is returned at the end of the school year, after the facility has been inspected and assessed for individual and common area damage. The residence hall reservation fee is not refundable if a student has signed a housing contract and later chooses not to live in the residence hall. Half of the annual residence hall fees are due from all students by August 13, 2022. The remainder of the residence hall fees are due December 1, 2022. These fees will appear on the tuition bill and may be paid in person, online or by mail to the Office of Student Accounts.

Students wishing to terminate the contract prior to the beginning of the contract period will be assessed charges as follows:
