MBV is an intensive, academic program. These rules are designed for the student’s safety and enjoyment. Failure to comply with the Program Guidelines may result in the removal from the program.

I understand that MBV is an intensive, academic program and the rules are designed for my safety and enjoyment. I also understand that my payment is non-refundable once I am accepted. If all forms following my application are not submitted to BestPrep by the due date, BestPrep retains the right to keep the non-refundable payment and cancel my application.

I agree to the above guidelines.

PAYMENT INFORMATION:

The early-bird rate is $200 for all applications received by April 21. The cost to attend will rise to $300 after April 21. This payment is non-refundable if you cancel or fail to turn in all your paperwork by the due date. Our goal is to ensure that every student is given the opportunity to attend MBV. Financial aid is available for those families who qualify for free/reduced price lunch.

FINANCIAL AID: Do you qualify for free/reduced-price lunch?
