Pricing Options Self Assessment

This page will help you determine which of the three pricing options is for you:

Sponsor, Standard or Equity Discount

1. Do you Qualify for the Equity Discount?

We are excited to be able to offer the Equity Discount. The Equity Discount is offered to those who are of any of these ethnicities and/or cultural backgrounds:

  • American Indian or Alaska Native
  • Asian
  • Black, African American, or African
  • Hispanic, Latina/o/x, or Spanish origin
  • Middle Eastern or North African
  • Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander

The fund is for people who: 

  • Have been racialized
  • Are underrepresented
  • Are underserved
  • Are owed reparations
  • Could not attend this workshop without the discount
  • Live below the poverty line, but not by choice

If you fit both of these criteria then we encourage you to choose the Equity Discount.

If not, you should not choose the Equity Discount, allowing the funds to be left for others who would not have access without the discount. 

2. Should you choose Standard Price or Sponsor Price?

This list of questions aims to help you self-assess and consider what rate to pay to attend this workshop. We understand that your experiences regarding these factors are unique and complex.  Thank you for taking the time to consider your options. 

  • Do you have U.S. Citizenship?
  • Do you not have a long-lasting or chronic condition that substantially limits one or more of your major life activities?
  • Are you and your family homeowners or landowners?
  • Have you or do you expect to inherit money or property?
  • Are your bills or credit cards on autopay?
  • Have you not had difficulty accessing and affording healthcare or health insurance for you or your family members?
  • Do you have zero to no debt and/or do you have disposable income?
  • Do you have a safety net composed of “financially stable” or wealthy family and friends?
  • Does your income only support you, and not other loved ones?
  • Have you (or could you have) attended private education institutions, college and/or graduate school? 

If you answered “yes” to 5 or more of these questions, then we encourage you to choose the Sponsor Price.

If you answered “no” to 6 or more of these questions,  then Standard Price is probably the best fit for you.
