Annual tuition for the 2026 academic year is USD 36,500. Every international applicant is automatically considered for a merit scholarship of 25, 40, 50, 60 or 75 percent of tuition as part of the standard admission evaluation, so most admitted students pay less than the full published rate; accommodation scholarships covering a shared dormitory room are available on top of this for some students. A non-refundable USD 30 application fee applies to undergraduate applications; graduate applications carry no fee.
