Summer 2013 Application
Registration Fees: $735 per weeklong course, $400 for the weekend course
The staff at the Peacebuilding & Development Institute is aware that it is difficult for many of its international participants to raise funds to attend the Summer Professional Training Program. Therefore, PDI has not raised tuition rates in more than eight years and makes every effort to equip its applicants with the tools necessary to acquire funding. If you feel that you may not be able to attend the summer institute for financial reasons, please consider filling out our Scholarship application below. Please visit our International Applicants page for further information.
*All Scholarships for the Peacebuilding and Development Institute 2013 have been distributed. All applications received in the future will be placed on a waitlist*
