Cost/funding for participants
COSTS
All accepted AIPES participants will be required to pay a participation fee. This fee will be designated towards your AIPES costs and will cover your room & board, breakfast and lunch (some days dinner will be included), academic materials, Charles University tuition, and special events. AIPES cannot cover your travel, visa costs (if applicable) and out of pocket money.
The participation fee is calculated first by the strength of your application, economic situation in your home country/region, if you will need any additional costs coming to Prague (ex. visa costs), and your scholarship statement and request. This participation fee will be no less than $700.00.
The total cost per student for TFAS is $3750.00. The difference between the participation fee and $3750.00 has been paid for by generous supporters of TFAS International and the AIPES Institute.
