<p>Since 1979, CTY has served the needs of academically gifted students worldwide by providing challenging programs matched to their abilities. CTYOnline distance courses offer eligible students opportunities to accelerate and enrich their learning at home or at school. Students can take advanced math, for example, without having to take a bus to a high school or college and without having to miss other classes at their local school. CTYOnline offers gifted students in grades pre K-12 challenging academic course work throughout the year. We bring together the best resources for each course, which may include multimedia resources, interactive whiteboard, web-based classrooms, texts, student guides, and CD-ROMs. Each student works with a qualified CTY faculty member who provides guidance, feedback, encouragement, and evaluation. CTYOnline courses are available year-round. </p>

<pre><code>Some students use the courses to enrich and supplement the curriculum during the school year or to advance academic goals during the summer.

<p>"Financial aid:</p>

<p>A long-term goal of CTY is to enable all qualified students to participate regardless of the family’s economic circumstances. Financial aid is available to students whose families demonstrate financial need by submitting the CTYOnline Financial Aid application with a copy of parent(s) most recent federal tax return. Students requesting aid must submit the financial aid application along with the CTYOnline Program Application (with required tuition deposit) at least 30 days before the course start date. If hardships exist in paying the deposit, applicants should contact the Financial Aid Office at (800) 393-6095 PRIOR TO submitting the applications. Failure to abide by these policies will delay the application.</p>

<p>Each student may apply for financial aid for only one session-based or flexi-paced course or, in the case of individually-paced courses, for one three-month period, per fiscal year (starts July 1). Additional financial aid in following years is based on previous satisfactory student performance, a complete written request for continued assistance, and available funds; however, there is no guarantee of additional aid. Financial aid for CTYOnline courses does not affect summer programs financial aid eligibility. Financial aid is not available for families with outstanding CTY account balances.
