3.            You must pay a non-refundable deposit of $450.00 towards the trip no later Monday April 2nd to secure your spot. Your deposit is part of the overall costs for the trip - not in addition to (example, if the trip costs $1700 and you paid $500 deposit, you would be required to pay the remaining $1200 before the semester begins). The Scholarship is applied to your account to offset that remaining trip costs.


Other information:


  *   You must enroll in the course (SWK 492 or SWK 592) (this is an elective, 3 hour credit course and requires being permitted to enroll)
  *   The cost for the trip (airfare, hotel, ground transportation in Costa Rica, some meals and entry into various sites that we attend) ranges from $1600 - $1800. The biggest variable is the cost of airfare and we don't know that this far out in advance.
  *   The cost of food while in country that you would have to cover is estimated at $300 - $400 - depending on what you choose to eat. Just as in the states, you can eat economically or order meals that cost more. We usually have 8-9 meals we must cover on our own.
