Students who are elected to Club Officer and Convention Officer positions will NOT be charged extra to attend the training events designed to prepare them to lead.  They are taking on extra duties on behalf of all program participants and all program participants will share in the cost of their training.

Fees are due in 3 non-refundable installments scheduled to correspond with registration dates for the 3 major events but are not considered fees for those events.  They are installments on the total cost.  A student who wishes to drop out may do so at any time without obligation to pay future installments, however, any installments already paid or due at the time of cancellation will not be refunded or forgiven.

Financial Assistance:
Clubs who have students with financial needs have many avenues of support.

1. Plan and implement local fund-raising events, solicit corporate donors, solicit local clubs and service organizations such as Rotary & Kiwanis.

2. If the club is associated with a local YMCA, the student should apply for Financial Assistance.
