Tuition, Scholarships and Program Benefits

Fundraising efforts are underway to help support the provision of partial scholarships for the 2008 program. Awards will be based on the merits and/or needs of participants, as described in application materials and nomination letters.
In addition to the on-site academic program, participants will receive individual follow-up from at least one of the program's key partners, to discuss applying program learning to one's current work environment. In addition to this enhancement, participants will also have an opportunity to participate in a parallel coaching experience, to be initiated and pursued by participants, if they so choose.
