Tuition Fee Structure
Thank you for reviewing our tiered fee structure, which reconciles our wish to make the training increasingly accessible with our need to cover staff labor and the rising costs of our materials. Please read the descriptions below and be in touch with us (info@oralhistorysummerschool.com) if you would like support selecting your tuition tier.

Standard/Institutional: $500 + 3% processing fee = $515 [Unlimited, up to workshop cap]
This tuition tier is for participants who are employed full-time/salaried, who may finance vacations and/or dining out, and/or who receive professional development funds or other additional support from an institution. If the aforementioned criteria does not apply to you but you have the financial means to pay the full rate, we invite you to register accordingly. Registrants who pay the Standard/Institutional tuition enable us to continue offering subsidized and free registration for participants historically excluded from the field.

Independent: $400 + 3% processing fee = $412 [Unlimited, up to workshop cap]
This tuition tier is for participants without institutional support, without a salary, and/or for those who work in under-resourced economies (education, social work, etc.). Those with steady income are encouraged to look to the institutional tier. As a note, if you do earn steady income but are experiencing ongoing instability—including but not limited to housing, healthcare, caregiving obligations—we invite you to register at the Independent rate rather than the Standard level.

Alumni: $325 + 3% processing fee = $335 [Unlimited, up to workshop cap]
This tuition tier applies to any participants who have taken 1-12 day workshops with OHSS. At this time, Hop-On attendees are not eligible for this tier. Please reach out to us at info@oralhistorysummerschool.com with any questions.
