COSTS
There is no tuition fee to attend the program, however participants are responsible for their own travel expenses, meals, and accommodations.  Students may arrange for their own local accommodations, or they may apply for shared housing at the Institute for Advanced Study.  Shared accommodations at the Institute will be granted based on availability at a subsidized cost of $300 per participant.  A list of hotels in the Princeton area can be found here.  (Please note: the hotel rates listed are subject to change.  Individuals should contact the hotels directly to determine the current pricing and should be certain to request the "Princeton University" rate.)  Weekday lunches during the program will be provided to registered participants.  Housing units offer full kitchens, and trips to a local grocery store will be arranged.

If you are accepted into the 2006 program, would you like us to send you an application for financial assistance for housing?  yes no
