ADMISSIONS
Welcome to MelodiousOne Educational Institute
At MEI, we believe every child deserves access to high-quality, immersive education in both the arts and academics. Our admissions process is designed to be personal, welcoming, and accessible—and our Fair Share Tuition Model ensures that families from all backgrounds can join our creative learning community.
Fair Share Tuition Model (2025-2026)
MEI’s tuition is based on your family’s financial capacity, not a flat rate. Through our Fair Share Tuition Model, each family pays a percentage of their gross annual income:
Step 1: Determine Gross Annual Income
-
Income Ranges: Families provide their gross annual income to determine their tuition level.
Title | Income Range | Tuition (% of Income) | Estimated Annual Tuition |
|---|---|---|---|
Tier 1 | Less than $50,000 | 3% – 5% | $1,500 – $2,500 |
Tier 2 | $50,001 – $75,000 | 5% – 7% | $2,500 – $5,250 |
Tier 3 | $75,001 – $100,000 | 7% – 9% | $5,250 – $9,000 |
Tier 4 | $100,001 – $150,000 | 9% – 11% | $9,000 – $16,500 |
Tier 5 | Over $150,000 | 11% – 15% | $16,500 – $22,500 |
Step 2: Calculate Family Contribution
-
Calculation: Families multiply their gross annual income by the applicable percentage to determine their tuition.
Example:
-
A family with a gross income of $80,000 would pay between 7% and 9% of their income, resulting in tuition between $5,600 and $7,200 per child.
Step 3: Financial Aid and Scholarships
-
Additional Aid: Families facing extraordinary circumstances (e.g., medical expenses, job loss) can apply for further assistance.
-
Scholarships: Merit-based and needs-based scholarships are available to further reduce the financial burden.
Example Tuition Calculation
-
Family A earns $55,000 annually. They calculate their tuition at 6% of income:
-
$55,000 x 6% = $3,300 annual tuition.
-
-
Family B earns $130,000 annually. They calculate their tuition at 10% of income:
-
$130,000 x 10% = $13,000 annual tuition, but this is capped at $10,000.
-
Payment Options
-
Monthly Plan: Payments can be spread over 10 months.
-
Semester Plan: Two equal payments in August and January.
-
Annual Plan: Full payment by August 1st with a possible discount.
Tuition Caps: No family would pay more than the standard maximum tuition rate set by the school (e.g., $10,000).
Minimum Tuition: All families are asked to pay at least a base minimum (e.g., $1,500), ensuring commitment and value in the educational experience.
