Participation expenses for the Academy include travel, lodging, and meal expenses as well as a $500 registration fee. A categorical grant will cover these expenses for up to 30 participants. A limited number of scholarships will also be available.
Admission and funding decisions will be made after the initial application and interview process, and therefore all applicants should consider that they may be asked to cover their own participation expenses.
If these costs would create a barrier to participation, we encourage applicants to apply for scholarship support. See application for more information.
