Institute Tuition, Payment, & Scholarships


Tuition and Expenses

Tuition is $3,100 for the Nonprofit Executive Leadership Institute and covers the cost of:

  • Materials, instruction, and a leadership assessment for the six-day program

  • Continental breakfasts, lunches, afternoon snacks, and some dinners with high-quality menus options, including vegetarian items (participants are on their own for some dinners)

  • Lodging in single occupancy rooms at the Hotel Deca near the University of Washington campus and within walking distance of shops and restaurants

Payment Policy

After your acceptance into the Nonprofit Executive Leadership Institute, you will receive an invoice from Cascade Executive Programs that must be paid by January 15, 2010. If you are unable to pay by the deadline, please contact us at cascade@u.washington.edu.

Acceptable forms of payment include:

  • Check: Make checks payable to the University of Washington and mail to Cascade Executive Programs, University of Washington, Parrington Hall, Box 353055, Seattle, WA 98195-3055. Please include the names of the participant and course on the check.

  • Credit Card: We accept Visa and MasterCard over the phone only. Please call 206.685.0523 after receiving your invoice to pay for the program. A receipt will be mailed to the cardholder within a month of payment.

  • Purchase Order Number: If your agency is unable to submit payment until after a service is rendered, we accept purchase order numbers (PO#) as payment. The PO# may be included at the time of your application, or emailed to cascade@u.washington.edu with the name of the participant, the course name, and the PO# as soon as possible following a registration.

Cancellation Policy

A participant may withdraw or substitute a qualified applicant without penalty on or before January 15, 2010. Qualifications of substitute candidates must be confirmed by Cascade Executive Programs. Full course tuition will be charged for participants who do not cancel in time and who fail to show on the first day of the session for which they are registered. Cancellations must be received in writing and require a written response from Cascade Executive Programs to be in effect. If a registrant fails to attend without notification, full tuition is required. Please note that failure to submit payment does not cancel you from the course.

If the cancellation or course-transfer deadline falls on a holiday or weekend, you should send cancelation requests via email. If this is not possible, be sure to email your cancellation request on the business day prior to the holiday.

Scholarships

Partial scholarships may be available to a limited number of Nonprofit Executive Leadership Institute applicants. Applicants are also encouraged to seek financial support from both their own organizations and outside funding sources, and will be asked to indicate these sources on the scholarship application form.

If you plan to apply for a scholarship, please submit your scholarship application at the same time as your institute application form.
