 “We understand that students and families are continuing to experience a lot of disruption and uncertainty,” said Ryon Kaopuiki, vice president for enrollment. “We waived the deposit last year, and we heard from many students that waiving the deposit helped their families. 

“We want to make sure the high school class of 2021 has that same opportunity,” he said.

“If you already deposited, that $250 will be a credit on your fall bill,” said Melissa West, associate director for recruitment. “If you haven’t yet made a deposit, you must complete the Intent to Enroll form as soon as you are ready to commit to Manchester.”

The form can be found at www.manchester.edu/admissions/audiences/admissions/commit.
