PAYMENT
SELF-PAY: By submitting a registration, you are committing to the fees for the program(s) you selected. You may either pay in full or pay a nonrefundable deposit of $150 at the time of registration.
Payment is due in full within 2 weeks of submitting your registration or by the start of the semester, whichever comes first. Payments are refundable ONLY if we are unable to fulfill your initial schedule request. All payments are nonrefundable once a schedule has been agreed upon. We are unable to make changes to days/times once the schedule is set.
FINANCIAL AID: Your scholarship application must be submitted at the time of registration. Registrations with Financial Aid selected will not be considered without a complete scholarship application.
Scholarship applications submitted without supporting documentation will not be considered. Click

All payments are nonrefundable once a schedule has been agreed upon and financial aid has been approved. We are unable to make changes to days/times once the schedule is set.
Third-party Payment by CMOs, school districts, foundations or any other resource covering the cost of services: If you have been referred by a CMO such as Bergen's Promise or Circle of Care, please include contact information for your case manager or the person responsible for billing at your school district or the foundation funding your services at Pony Power. In order to hold a spot for you, we will need to receive payment or written confirmation that fees for your services will be covered by the third party payer within 7 days of registration.
