The completed application must be submitted no later than the Application Deadline and include a credit card/debit card payment, payment authorization form, or a check/money order made payable to Education in Action. If a payment is denied, the postmark or submission date of the payment sent will be voided. For example, if a payment is postmarked or submitted by April 25, 2027 but the payment is denied, the tuition rate will increase to $1,695.00 and the remaining balance will be due 15 calendar days prior to the student’s camp session start date. If the $300.00 non-refundable deposit has been paid and the application processed, the deposit amount will not be refunded. The registration fee for the Lone Star Leadership Academy Alumni Council program is fully non-refundable. 

Student and Parent/Legal Guardian should note that if, after Education in Action has accepted the student’s application, the Parent/Legal Guardian cancels the student’s participation in the Lone Star Leadership Academy, a refund of the tuition already paid minus the $300.00 deposit will be issued provided that notification of cancellation and request for refund is received in writing by Education in Action no later than April 25, 2027. No refund will be made if the notice of cancellation is received after April 25, 2027; this includes, but is not limited to, cancellation due to illness/injury, mental illness, inclement weather, and/or lack of transportation.

All sponsorship payments must be postmarked to Education in Action no later than 15 calendar days prior to the student’s camp session start date in order to receive reimbursement; no reimbursements for sponsorships will be issued for payments postmarked within 15 calendar days of the student's camp session start date.  

Student and Parent/Legal Guardian should note that all applications are processed strictly in order of receipt and that applications may exceed available space. This is an application for participation and enrollment is contingent on final approval by Education in Action, with whom sole discretion resides. If the application is denied, the application and all monies included will be returned. Education in Action reserves the right to cancel a program before the student’s departure from home, in which case any monies paid to Education in Action will be refunded. Education in Action reserves the right to change or modify a program's itinerary before or after a program is scheduled to begin.

Student and Parent/Legal Guardian should note that if, after Education in Action has accepted the student’s application, Parent/Legal Guardian changes the student's scheduled camp session for any reason, a $65.00 administrative fee will be charged if the change occurs after April 25, 2027. Camp session changes may be requested up until two Fridays (nine calendar days) prior to the originally scheduled camp session start date and will be honored on a space available basis. Camp session change requests must be provided to Education in Action in writing and must be submitted with the $65.00 payment (if applicable based on date).

If the student does not enroll in a future program, the deposit remains non-refundable.

No tuition refund will be made.
