Price Reduction & Scholarship
The value of money is not the same everywhere.
A price that may be easier accessible in one country can represent a much heavier burden in another, simply because of differences in purchasing power. To make our course more inclusive, we take these and other disparities into account by offering scholarships and price reductions, so that people from diverse economic backgrounds and regions can participate more equally.
We ask participants who have the possibility to create additional income — for example by taking on short-term work, by asking their network for support or by mobilising savings — to consider this option before applying for a price reduction or scholarship.
We would like to highlight the subtle difference between choosing to have a low income and having a low income due to systemic barriers. This helps ensure that limited scholarship funds benefit those facing the greatest financial hurdles, thereby allowing a more diverse group of people to access the course. Thank you for taking the time to reflect on this.
We offer the following questions to support your process of self-assessment before applying for a price reduction or scholarship. They are meant to help you guide your decision. Please note, these answers are for yourself and not expected to be shared with us.
