Tuition Fees

Tuition
Aware of the difficulties many of our international participants face in finding funds for our program, PDI has not raised tuition rates in five years.

Non-credit Tuition: $735 per course.

Financial Aid
There are a limited number of need-based tuition scholarships available. The scholarship will pay for one week of tuition, and participants will be responsible for paying for the second week, at least. Please note that PDI can only provide scholarships for tuition; we are unable to cover airfare, housing, or other additional costs. The scholarship deadline is Friday, April 28th, 2007.

Scholarship applications are reviewed through a panel committee, and judged based on the applicant's qualifications and academic excellence. Priority considerations are given to early applicants.

To be eligible for scholarships, the applicant must:

• Submit a complete scholarship application;
• Demonstrate financial need;
• Currently live or work in a conflict or transition country;
• Provide reasons why she/he qualifies for a scholarship; and
• Outline what she/he would do upon return home.

PDI will also provide advice and guidance on fundraising options through outside sources in an effort to ensure that all applicants have the opportunity to participate in the Summer Institute.

Sponsor a Peacebuilder
Many applicants for PDI's Summer Institute come from situations where covering the cost of tuition can be a significant financial burden, yet their meet all other qualifications for participation and are often in a prime position to put the knowledge and skills gained through the Institute into practice. Financially sponsoring a participant of the Summer Institute provides an excellent opportunity to directly support the cause of peacebuilding on a global scale.
