SECURITY DEPOSIT
Though we are proud to offer this summit for free, we ask applicants to confirm their acceptance with a $100 security deposit. Upon completion of the summit, students will have their deposit refunded. However, if a student fails to attend ALL days of the summit without prior legitimate reason, SHCMS will keep the deposit. This monetary rule is in place not only to ensure students' attendances, but also ensures the utmost learning environment for both the teachers and students. We appreciate in advance your understanding of this matter.
