Teen Dates, Rates & Financial Aid

2025 Dates & Rates

All teen programs are for students ages 14-17 or those entering 9th through 12th grade.

We have a rolling admissions process, so we place participants in workshops as we accept them. We strongly recommend that you submit the application early so that we can try and place the participant in one of their top workshops(s) choices. 

Applications for the 3-Week Session close on June 1. Applications for the 1-Week Session close on July 1. If you plan to apply to both sessions, applications will need to be submitted by June 1. After these dates, please reach out to us to see about availability.

  • The $500 deposit will be applied towards the tuition balance, and will hold a spot for students in workshops.

  • Should enrollment not be sufficient resulting in workshop cancellation or reassignment, you will be notified no later than May 1st, and students will be placed in their next highest workshop selection.
  • There are no refunds for choosing to withdraw from the program after May 15th.
  • We recommend that families purchase an insurance policy that can cover losses as a result of your child not being able to participate in the programs. One example of a policy you might consider is Travelex Insurance.  Please note that there are other companies offering similar plans and you should check out all of the various options before picking your plan.

Financial Aid

The Putney School Summer Arts offers need based financial aid to families that qualify, in order to make our programs a possibility for more students. In order to be considered for financial aid, a student must first apply to the program and be accepted. We award aid whenever possible, giving priority to students who are new to the programs. Families or organizations interested in helping to sponsor a student financially should contact Dan Folgar, Director of Summer Programs. 

  • In the application, please check the “I wish to apply for financial aid” box on the final page of the form.
  • We will send a link for families to submit a financial aid application through Clarity once an application is completed and processed. A fee may be assessed during this process through the app, but may be waived based on the information provided in your Financial Aid application. Parents will need to upload their most recent Federal Tax return with their application. If parents are not filing jointly, each parent completes and submits a separate form. 
  • All Financial Aid applications are due by March 15th. Award decisions will be communicated to families after April 1st.
  • Families awarded financial aid who elect not to enroll in the program after receiving notice of financial aid award are entitled to a refund of tuition and deposit paid minus $100, provided The Putney School Summer Arts receives written notice of this decision by May 1st.
