PROGRAM FEES                        

When you add up tuition, books, housing, food and transportation, Wildlands Studies projects cost about the same, and in some cases significantly less, than your expenses per academic term.   

Wildlands Studies projects have an academic Program Fee, an on-site In-country fee and cost related to flight and personal expenses.  Program Fees are based on the length and location of each project and cover academic tuition only.  The on-site or "in-country" fee covers expenses such as transportation during the program; applicable meals/food/camping fees; Park/Nature/Reserve entrance fees; permits; use of study facilities; rental of group equipment.  Flight costs, travel gear and personal expenditures are paid directly by participants.  Program Fee is due upon acceptance into a project. Please note Program Fee deadlines.  After fee deadlines, enrollments are accepted on a space-available basis. Fees paid to Wildlands Studies cover program and academic fees only.

Wildlands Studies and CSUMB Extended Education do not offer scholarships or financial aid for Wildland Studies projects. Many students are able to form "Consortium Agreements" between their home campus and WIldlands Studies for the use of financial aid from their home campus.  This is at the discretion of each university.  Check with your Financial Aid office about a "Consortium Agreement" if you are interested in using financial aid to pay for your project.  Wildlands Studies is able to accept Americorps Vouchers.  Students attending field programs are expected to bring additional money in the form of Travelers Checks, ATM cards, or credit cards to cover expenses.
