For this particular pilot launch, we have worked hard to keep the cost low without incurring a deficit. The total program cost for our Cohort pilot launch is $3,750. The tuition amount can be paid in full any time after the applicant has officially been accepted into the program.
There is a one-time, nonrefundable application fee of $50 due immediately upon submission of application paperwork.
Note: The other additional costs to attend the SSD include the required books/course materials, practicum fees (spiritual direction/supervision sessions [negotiable fees] plus a flat fee of $50 for 6 hours of dyad/mentoring group “real play” practice sessions with supervisor/mentor feedback/coaching). Travel to the Opening and Closing Residencies will be at your own expense. At this time, the residencies are expected to be held within the Luzon region of the Philippines. Transportation to the residency location for those arriving at a local airport (and back) will be the responsibility of the participant. The CQ office can offer assistance by way of suggested options, arrangement guidelines and instructions.
Payment Schedule:
Super Early Bird Applicants [SEB] (Those applying beginning October 2021 onwards until March 15, 2022). SEBs are entitled to a $500 discount from the total fee. This means that the person has applied, has been interviewed, has been officially accepted, and has paid the required non-refundable (but transferrable) deposit, all within the specified period. Those who wish to take advantage of the SEB should therefore plan on applying early. Those who get accepted closer to March 15 only have up to the end of March to pay the deposit.
