costs & scholarships

 

costs

The $600 registration fee includes instruction, materials, a welcome reception and dinner Sunday evening, a group cruise on the lake, refreshment breaks during the five-day Institute, and lunches for four of the days.

Travel, lodging and dinners, except Sunday evening’s dinner, are at participants’ expense. (A block of 50 rooms has been reserved for institute participants at a hotel near the Pyle Center, and more information about lodging will be available in the near future. For your planning purposes, the current rates are $81 for a single and $91 for a double.)

If you cancel your registration before June 27, 2008 (three or more weeks before the Institute), you will receive a full refund minus a $50 administrative fee. If you cancel after June 27—or do not attend—you are responsible for the entire registration fee. If you have registered but are unable to attend, you are welcome to send a substitute.
