Student Budget
The estimated budget for a Juilliard student for the nine-month academic year 2008-09 is calculated as follows:

It should be noted that all first-time college students are required to live in the residence hall. Students who live off campus should expect their housing and food costs to be higher than those listed here. They should also calculate local transportation costs of some $720 into their budgets. In those exceptional instances in which students are allowed to have a double major, the School charges an additional $7,930 in tuition. The additional charge for a secondary major is $4,300 (for one half hour per week lesson) or $7,930 (for one hour).
