Tuition for the program shall be no more than $600.00. This amount breaks down into two parts:

1. A $100 enrollment fee: Once an apprentice has made an arrangement with a participating mentor farm, they may formally enroll in the program by submitting an application and a $100 enrollment fee to the Central Coordinator.

2. Up to $500 Tuition for Classroom Study Program: Officially enrolled apprentices pay the Apprenticeship Program Tuition Rate for any educational program that fulfills the classroom study component of the program. Tuition for a full course of study will be no more than $500. Payment schedules are arranged with each individual classroom study program.

The $100 enrollment fee is valid for 3 years, allowing apprentices three years to complete their classroom study work.

Apprentices make their own arrangements with their mentor farms regarding compensation.
