We are so grateful to the generosity of our program sponsors so program fees are offered on a sliding scale – you choose the price point that works best for you.

We recognize that systemic marginalization means that wealth has not been equitably distributed or accessible in the same way for everyone. Whatever amount you’re able to invest, we are here for you, and we want to see you thrive!

We ask you to consider your personal finances and pay what you can between $0-$849.

The full value of E-Series is $1500.
