What to Know About Applying to PRPIL

The Application:
PRPIL has rolling enrollment throughout the school year. Once you meet all eligibility requirements, you can submit a completed application for review, along with the $75.00 application fee. Once you are accepted into the program, you will need to submit an initial payment towards the program cost (either the first installment or the total sum) in order to be assigned an Instructional Consultant and officially begin the program. Please note: it is common for applications to be sent back for revisions prior to program acceptance. 

Cost:
PRPIL’s program fee is $2,500.00. This can be paid through monthly installments or as a lump sum payment. Discounts are regularly available through PRPIL’s Facebook and LinkedIn pages. MTA members can use code MTAMember to save $100 off the cost of the program (please have your MTA number handy). Discounts can be used together, but be sure to separate the discount codes with a comma in the discount code box of the application.   

Please note that PRPIL administration cannot determine your eligibility without a completed application, which will provide all information needed.
