We work with families to right size tuition based on financial need, reducing up to 40% .
When tuition is far out of reach, we have an internal annual fund dedicated to supporting this once in a lifetime experience.
To take us above and beyond what we can do internally, we partner with generous families and foundations to increase access.
Prospective students have told us that they feel guilty about the cost of our programs. Why not donate this money to a worthy cause, instead? That’s a valid impulse, and probably means you’re a perfect fit for a Dragons program! We believe that the world needs you to have this experience. The world needs you to gain crucial skills that a Dragons program inculcates, so that you can then share that knowledge and understanding, and lead from that gained wisdom. We need leaders steeped in a Dragons education, and that is you.
