Program Fees

IGS makes every effort to keep costs to the student to a minimum. The application fee includes a one year membership to MEPI. Supplies which are necessary for making projects and other classroom materials and MEPI membership beyond the first year are the student’s responsibility.

Student interns receive a minimum of three visits from qualified field supervisors, approved by the Program Director. IGS will pay the field supervisors for the labor costs associated with the first three visits but interns are responsible for the miscellaneous costs associated with the visits. These costs include, but are not limited to, travel, lodging and meals. If no on site supervising Director is available, interns are supervised monthly. Again, IGS will pay the field supervisors for the labor costs of the first three supervisions but interns are responsible for the miscellaneous costs associated with the visits. Interns incur all charges for additional required visits. In pioneering situations, when monthly visits pose an undue hardship, Program Directors may elect to mentor students via monthly conference calls, Skype visits, videotaped supervisions, or other methods of communication.
