Cost & Financial Aid

Hudson Lab Ventures programs operate within local and global contexts. Tuition reflects the real cost of delivering high-quality programming, while also accounting for local partnerships that make reduced pricing possible in specific locations. Our goal is to be transparent, fair, and consistent, while keeping programs accessible to students from different backgrounds.

Admissions & Application Fees

Admission to Hudson Lab Ventures is selective. We review each application carefully to build a thoughtful, collaborative cohort. For two-week programs, a non-refundable application fee is required as part of the application process. You should be directed to the application fee payment page upon completion of your application.

• $45 for applications submitted on or before February 28

We aim to make our programs accessible to students from a wide range of backgrounds. Application fee waivers are available for families for whom the fee would be a barrier.

Financial Aid

Hudson Lab Ventures offers limited, need-based financial aid for families for whom tuition would otherwise be a barrier to participation. Financial aid decisions take into account demonstrated financial need, program location, enrollment track, and available funding for a given cohort. Families interested in financial aid should indicate this on the application. Aid availability varies by program and cannot be guaranteed.
