RESUME AND LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION

LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION

One letter of recommendation is required to be considered for Next Step. The letter can be from anyone who knows you in a professional capacity, whether or not they supervised you, and does not necessarily have to be from a commanding officer or coach. This is an opportunity for you to share a different side of yourself than what your resume and essays convey. The letter of recommendation should be in PDF format and no longer than one page.

FEE STRUCTURE AND FINANCIAL AID

Fee Structure

I have read and agreed to the below fee structure

Participants are asked to pay a fee based on their AGI (adjusted gross income), which covers tuition, materials, accommodations, and most meals. The fee structure is as follows:

Category 1 (participants with an AGI of $70,000 or more): $5,000
Category 2 (participants with an AGI of less than $70,000): $2,500.

Payment of the fee is expected upon admission to the program. For applicants who receive a scholarship from an outside organization or plan to utilize VA benefits, Tuck will waive this requirement and coordinate the payment process directly. Admitted candidates should be prepared to provide a VA certificate of eligibility or confirmation of their scholarship at the time of enrollment in order to secure their place in the program.

Please be sure to review our complete financial policies, including the timeline for deferral/cancellation requests, on our website.

Financial Aid

I would like to be considered for financial aid.

Need-based financial aid may be available. Priority is given to Category 2 participants who do not qualify for other sources of aid, such as a scholarship program from a sponsoring organization. The largest grant awarded is usually $500. Please check here if you would like to be considered for financial aid.
