Tuition Fee Price Guarantee

Your acceptance letter is valid through the next two cycle starts. You may choose any cycle during that time to begin your program. Tuition fees as outlined in this letter, however, are valid for the next program start only and are subject to change thereafter.

We will make every effort to maintain the price of your program as long as you move through your program at the baseline pace of 12 months per Program Phase.  If you choose to manage your program such that it increases the time it takes you to complete a Phase (by adding pauses or extension months), we reserve the right to assess fees at current rates when you move into your next Phase.

We keep our programs as affordable as possible but sometimes changes in fees are unavoidable. As we grow, we anticipate the possibility of lowering fees, particularly for economically challenged associates. We thank you in advance for your understanding.

Scholarships:

Most scholarships granted by Gaia U are granted as reductions in fees that would normally support the many functions required by Gaia U to offer a high level of transformative action un/learning programs.

All scholarships awarded are valid for the Program Phase in which they are granted.  We expect scholarship associates to inform us of any significant changes to their financial circumstances so that re-calculations may be made.  These could result in a higher or lower scholarship level.  After completion of a Program Phase we will request a re-evaluation of a person’s Scholarship level and based on the re-evaluation will endeavor to provide needed support so that Scholarship Associates have the opportunity to complete their programs.

We seek donations to our Scholarship Fund and ask that all members of the Gaia U community participate in this worthy endeavor to assure both the financial stability of Gaia U and the broad diversity that is our global community.
