2010
Costs
The program fee is $4500 and includes transportation, camping and park entrance and excursion fees, and meals. Tuition, which is not included in the program fee, will depend on the number of hours you register for and the year you matriculated at UGA. Non-residents of Georgia pay only a supplemental fee of $200 (since this is a self-funded program, out-of-state fees are not required). Participants will have to supply some camping gear (a list will be provided) and purchase textbooks and other educational supplies. Optional activities, and food on days off (and snacks purchased at gas stations), are not included in the program fees. Scholarships and student loans may be available for continuing UGA students through the Office of Student Financial Aid.
Deadlines
The application deadline is February 1, 2010. Participants will be notified of their acceptance the first week of February. Any student who applies prior to the deadline will be notified of his/her status earlier, once the application is complete.
To ensure participation, all applicants accepted into the program must meet the following schedule of payment:
- By February 15th, an initial deposit of $500.
- By May 15th, the final fee payment (balance of all program fees).
- We ask that you register for classes and pay tuition by May 15th.
Since the UGA-IFP obtains its funding from student fees, and many of our accommodations require early deposits, late withdrawals jeopardize the program for all participants. Consequently, we will not refund fees already paid unless another qualified applicant can be found.
All fees should be paid directly to the Bursar's Office at the University of Georgia.
