Costs of Membership:

 

We are a State of Michigan nonprofit educational organization run by volunteer instructors, and none of our instructors are paid - we do it for the love of the art and to serve the community.  As such, we are able to keep our monthly tuition donations extremely affordable, and in our 40+ years, we have never turned away a student for lack of ability to pay.

 

If you are unable to afford these suggested amounts, you can speak to the head of school to find a monthly tuition donation amount that is reasonable for your current circumstances.  Tuition waivers in exchange for assistance with projects at the dojo are also an option.

​

Monthly tuition donations:

     

 $50 per month for adults

​$35 per month for kids, students, & seniors

​

   After the first person, it is only $25 per extra family member. Also, we cap this to allow for larger families that want to share this experience together, so the maximum monthly donation amount for the kids' class is $75 and adult class or a mixed kids/adults family maximum is $90).

​

All tuition, donations, and other payments such as for uniforms and gear can be made with cash, checks payable to Northern Lights Cuong Nhu, or to our Venmo account: @NLCuongNhu​
