PROGRAM FEE AND SCHOLARSHIPS
TBC works closely with your home university regarding program tuition and financial aid. As is the case with all U.S. Federal Aid, it will carry with you to any U.S. accredited institution (that’s us!). Additionally we have made agreements with many universities so that your university financial aid is transferable as well.
