TUITION

Participation in CDL requires a financial commitment. Payment plans are available for all levels of the sliding scale. Scholarship support is available to help with payment of fees but will be limited.

Upon acceptance to the program, you have a choice to pay in full or a minimum deposit of 25% (based on the rate you are paying). Any unpaid balance will be divided into equal monthly installments that will go through the end of 2025. We will automatically set up the installments using the same card you used to pay the deposit.

If the minimum deposit or number of installments poses an extreme financial hardship exceptions can be made.

Please consider the amount you would be able to afford in order to participate in CDL. We ask you to select the highest possible level of program fees that meet your needs, as your generosity allows for those with lesser means to attend.

Sliding Scale:
$16,475 – Benefactor
$12,875 – Sustainer
$9,250 – Basic

Scholarship Rates:
$7,350 – Reduced
$5,450 – Mudita/Karuna Scholarship Rate
$5,450 – BIPOC Scholarship Rate
