How much does it cost?
Participation in the Fellowship is on a sliding scale between $3,500 and $6,000 to cover the cost of programming provided. We ask that if you are able, you pay at the higher end of the sliding scale so that people who have less access to funds can pay on the lower end and costs will still be covered.
How are Fellows selected?
Fellows will be selected by a committee comprised of Confluence Board Members, a previous fellow, Resource Generation and Confluence staff leadership.
