Financial assistance available
What’s Included
The program fee covers accommodation, meals, program materials, and the cost of scheduled activities throughout the program. The program fee does not include airfare. Participants are responsible for booking their own travel to and from the host city.
Inside the Program
Sessions are interactive, and no session is simply a lecture. Each one calls on participants to engage directly with primary sources and analyze them critically — attending to genre, audience, and the historical circumstances of a work’s composition — and participants lead presentations on those sources for their peers.
Part of the program is also getting to know the rest of the cohort, who come from across the United States and Canada.
Financial Assistance
For households experiencing genuine financial hardship, financial aid and assistance may be available. Information on how to request financial assistance will be shared with applicants during the application process.
