Program Fee:

All participants must pay the program fee of $1,700* U.S. This fee covers weekday subsistence, lodging, operational, administrative, and non-academic staff costs, as well as governmental administrative fees. The full Program Fee must be paid to the Project Director upon arrival in Belize, with the exception of $100 U.S., which must be submitted with your application as a deposit.

”For Credit” Student Enrolment:

Students wishing to take the field school for credit will enrol in ANTH3000 (Belize) through the Registrar’s Office at Trent University. Credit will be for a full course equivalent, and will be granted by Trent University after payment of the requisite tuition fees, and completion of the course requirements. Participants will be graded based on their fieldwork, lab work, notebook, participation, and final exam. Students will be sent information concerning Trent summer school enrolment in mid-March. The summer school application form, and tuition fee, must be returned to the Registrar’s Office at Trent before the admission process can be completed. Students from other universities must apply for admission to Trent as a visiting student and also submit a letter of permission from their home institution in order to participate in this Trent course (this should be submitted with the Trent summer school application, not the SARP application).

Trent Summer School Tuition Fees:
1). Canadian Residents - $1,168.56** Canadian
2). International Students - $3,050.26** Canadian
** these are 2011 summer fees, and they are subject to change (fees are determined by the year a student first registered at Trent).

Graduate Student Volunteer Enrolment (space limited to five participants):

Graduate students wishing to acquire field experience, regardless of their level of experience, may participate in this field course. Interested graduate students must submit this application form and the $100 U.S. deposit. If accepted, graduate students will be required to participate in the entire five week course, and pay the balance of the Program Fee ($1,600 U.S.) to the PI upon arrival in Belize.

* All students will be required to cover the cost of their transportation to and from Belize, as well as the cost of weekend room and board, any optional field trips, medical expenses, personal insurance, or other non-project related expenses (e.g., personal equipment, personal spending money).
