Program Fee
Fellows pay an individual fee of $100 to participate in the program, which is due when Fellows accept their offer to participate in the Fellowship. This fee is a reduced rate from the overall costs of the program, and it helps to cover the cost of trainings, retreats, and materials. The remainder of the cost is subsidized through organizational partners that pay $1,500 per Fellow and through scholarship support.
