~ Our Registration Policy ~

Registration Policy for Program Fees: *
  In keeping with our philosophy of working to minimize the economic disparity between countries as much as possible and reduce this barrier to participation, all Program Fees are based on participant's citizenship and current residence. Those from higher developed economies pay the regular program fee rate to allow us the flexibility to offer subsidized (discounted) program fee rates to low income participants from lower economies who have little or no ability to pay. A list of countries with higher developed economies includes but ios not limited to: USA, Canada, European Union and Western Europe, Kuwait, United Arab Emirites, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea.
We operate on the honor system and appreciate your cooperation and support in providing accurate information at registration to allow this intent to be successful and assist those in need.
  * All Accommodations, Meals, and other out-of-pocket expenses, are necessarily at the same rate for all participants (
