2025 Ecuador Semester Program
DONOR SUPPORTED TUITION CALCULATOR
We believe all qualified students should have access to the unique opportunity of a Kroka program. Thanks to our generous donors, we can welcome all students who have a sincere desire to attend - regardless of financial circumstances. Financial aid is awarded based on on family size and household income. This calculator will estimate your expected family tuition contribution based on your circumstances.
Our donor-supported tuition program is based on family household income, and is designed to help families who have no other means towards participating in our semester programs. However, some families have unique circumstances beyond household income that allow them to make a larger contribution towards our tuition costs. For example:
  • trust fund or other significant investments
  • real estate (beyond ownership of one single family home)
  • grandparents or other family members who can support a child's education
If this describes your family's situation, we will ask that you either:
  • choose to pay full tuition instead of donor-supported tuition,
  • talk to us in more detail about your unique situation, or
  • use our independent financial aid assessment service to fairly and confidentially determine your appropriate family contribution
WHAT IS YOUR APPROXIMATE
ANNUAL HOUSEHOLD INCOME?
$
.00

Household income should be exactly as reported on your federal tax return as ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME.

If the prospective student has more than one household (divorced or separated parents), please enter the combined income of both households.

Out of fairness to everyone, donor supported families will be asked to submit proof of income with a copy of revelent pages of the most recent federal tax return.


HOW MANY CHILDREN DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD(s)?

This seems reasonable:
We could stretch to make it work.
Sorry, this amount does not seem possible
- how can we negotiate more support?
