Fees and Scholarships
The cost of our Summer 2025 Program is $7,000 per student.
But we offer an early-bird discount of 10% if you apply during January (making the cost $6.300).
This fee provides an (almost) fully-inclusive package.
This cost includes
〰️ Tuition for all courses, so you are free to attend as many as you wish. 〰️
〰️ Materials for all classes, and materials for you to use in your free time (within reason). 〰️
〰️ Six weeks of accommodation, including a few days in Athens at the beginning of the program. 〰️
〰️ Transfers from Athens airport to the city, and then to the location of the school. 〰️
〰️ A field trip to a culturally important site, plus accommodation during the trip. 〰️
〰️ A welcome dinner when you first arrive at the school, and shared meals every Friday evening. 〰️
〰️ A printed catalogue of the final exhibition. 〰️
It doesn’t include
〰️ Your airfare or meals during the semester. 〰️
Athens airport is very well connected, and if you book flights well in advance, it’s generally relatively easy to get to Greece.
Regarding meals, Greece is very affordable - you can eat out every night for $150 per week. In general, we recommend that students budget around $1,500 spending money for the six-week program.
Scholarships
We endeavor to make Argo accessible to everyone, no matter their financial situation.
Our scholarship program provides a significant discount on the full price of the program - up to 100%. Applications for scholarships are assessed on the basis of need and merit. To apply for a scholarship, indicate this on your application form.
