Financial Information

Application Fees & Tuition

Application fees are paid per class to secure enrollment, while tuition is billed monthly over ten months. Families may also choose semester or yearly payment options, making planning flexible and straightforward.

  • Application fees are a one-time, per-class charge that secures your student’s enrollment for both the fall and spring semesters. Fees increase by $10 per class after June 1 and return to regular rates in mid-March when a new application season opens. If a class is full, the application fee will automatically populate as $5, which places your student on the waitlist. These fees are collected at the time of application submission. All application fees are non-refundable, except in the rare case a class does not form.

  • Tuition is billed monthly over ten months (August–May) and is listed per class on our Course Offerings page. Families may also choose to pay by semester or in full for the year. Invoices are emailed on the 1st of each month, with payment due by the 20th; late or returned payments incur additional fees. Tuition can be paid via bank transfer, credit card (3.8% service charge added), or in person with cash/check.

Scholarship Fund

Our scholarship fund is supported by our families, with each gift matched dollar for dollar by HHL. These funds help offset tuition for qualified students, making Hilger more accessible and strengthening our community.

  • Gifts from our families are matched dollar for dollar by HHL, doubling the impact of each contribution. To make a contribution, please contact our director, Taylor Woodruff, for a one-time donation, or to set up automatic donations on your monthly invoices.

  • The financial aid request is included within our student application. If you do not see this option on the application, it means the fund has been fully exhausted for the school year. To be added to the financial aid waitlist, please contact our director, Taylor Woodruff.
