Pay Your DepositA couple of important notes:
- If the $250 application fee is due at the time of application, then the line “The deadline to make a payment is May 1, 2026” should probably be removed or rewritten.
- If May 1, 2026 is actually meant to be a separate payment deadline, you need to say what payment it applies to.
All payments are non-refundable. Payment deadlines vary based on applicant type and payment stage.
