Placement of Students, Tuition and Funding
As a private educational facility, Provo Canyon charges tuition fees, but also receives state and federal funding. Medical insurance may reimburse some costs.
Many students are placed in the facility by one or both of their parents, typically because mental health professionals and parents feel that residential placement is needed to address their children's behavioral health and educational problems. Others are placed there by probation officers or juvenile courts, or local school districts. In the latter case, tuition is covered by state and federal agencies in accordance with state special education laws and the federal Education for All Handicapped Children Act.

Famous quotes containing the word tuition:
“Miss C_____ is ... remarkably neat in her person and is uncommonly diligent in every part of useful economy.... She hath indeed under her father’s tuition acquired ... a large share of real learning of almost all the living and dead languages. Nor was the leisure which she found for such acquirements produced by neglecting anything necessary or useful for the family, but by the most assiduous industry.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
