What can I expect after I apply?

How do I get my $500 Resident Deposit back?

The Resident Deposit will be refunded to Residents who:

Remain enrolled and fulfill all requirements for the duration of the 10-mo program
Maintain care and cleanliness of the Resident home

Upon vacating the Resident home, and following a final evaluation of the home, deposits will be refunded within 15 business days.

Do you offer scholarships and/or payment plans?

Thrive Residency will consider a reduction or delay in program costs for applicants who experience significant financial hardship.

My letter of intent indicates that I'm on the waiting list. What does that mean?
We anticipate having far more qualified applicants than we have spots. As such, a handful of applicants may be placed on our cohort waiting list. Those approved for the waiting list have no guarantee of enrollment, but may receive notification of acceptance anytime up until the cohort start date in the event of a Resident's cancellation.

I missed the application deadline. Can I still apply?

You are welcome to submit a late application, but priority will be given to those who meet the deadline.

Thank you!
