Here are details on what we expect to charge for the 2018 SIL-UND summer session. (All information on this page is subject to change up until the session starts, since costs can sometimes change unexpectedly.)
Except as noted, all charges are payable to SIL at the beginning of the summer. Checks should be made out in US dollars to the “Summer Institute of Linguistics” or “SIL-UND”. (In order to keep tuition and fees as low as possible, we do not accept credit cards.)
Financial aid is available.
Please contact the SIL-UND Director for any questions concerning these charges.

| Tuition The tuition bill is calculated in two parts, a “base portion” and a “variable portion”. The first part, the “base portion”, is charged to all students who are enrolled during the summer and are drawing on resources of the program, no matter how many credits they are enrolled for. It is also charged during any term in which an M.A. student defends their thesis. The second part, the “variable portion”, varies based on the number of credits and which courses a person is taking.

housing, meals and laundry (details)
Anyone living in the residence hall is normally expected to participate in the dining plan. The hall does not have adequate facilities for people to cook for themselves. Those living outside the residence hall may still, if they wish, participate in the dining plan.
SIL-UND housing is a cooperative program, in which any non-staff adults and teens contribute approximately 1 hour of work per day cleaning in the residence hall or helping out in other ways, in order to keep program costs down. If you do not wish to participate in this program, please find housing outside the dorm.
Rates for housing include internet service, but not optional bedlinen and wired phone service.
Washing machine use is charged if a person lives outside the residence hall but wants to use the hall’s laundry facilities.
| Housing deposit (if not on staff) Credited toward the total bill for housing and meals. Due by May 1 to reserve space in the dormitory. After May 1, there is no guarantee of housing availability, but the sooner we receive the deposit, the higher a person will be on the priority list for dorm housing. Refundable if application is canceled before May 1. |
