Cost
The subsidized cost of the program is set up on a sliding scale, from $200-300* (please pay what you can afford). This covers tuition, room and board, and local transportation to and from the site, and all the benefits of being a member of the Sierra Club, including the award-winning Sierra Magazine.
*There is no tuition fee for the Los Angeles, New Mexico, or Puerto Rico programs due to a partnership with the Building Bridges to the Outdoors project of the Sierra Club. However, these programs give preference to local and minority youth.
++Special Group Rate: 3+ people $150/person.++
Refund Policy: Full refunds will be available until 3 weeks before each program if you are unable to attend. A 50% refund will be available up until 2 weeks before the program, 25% refund up until 1 week before the program and no refund after 1 week before the program start date.
Scholarships: Don't let money concerns keep you from applying and attending. We are dedicated to helping you find funds. Because our pool of scholarships funds are limited we ask that BEFORE applying for a scholarship, you try to raise the cost of tuition yourself, (see our Sprog Fundraising Guide). If you have exhausted all other avenues, we do have limited funds and can offer need-based tuition reduction or waiver, and have limited travel scholarships. If you require financial assistance, please fill out the on-line scholarship application form, or contact us at 888-JOIN-SSC for scholarship information.
