Cost & Accessibility

We believe cost should not be a barrier to leadership development.

Because Foundations is currently offered as a pilot, there is no required program fee for participants accepted into this cohort. In return, we ask participants to fully engage in the learning experience and share feedback to help us strengthen the program.

If you are accepted and would like to support future cohorts, you will have the opportunity to make an optional contribution. Any gift helps us continue creating accessible leadership opportunities for educators.

Your ability or decision to contribute financially will not influence your application or acceptance.
