How to Pay
We accept payments by credit/debit card and Apple Pay. Payment is due upon confirmation of your successful application, and there is a 30-day grace period. Your place is not confirmed until the course fee is paid, and after 30 days, you will be moved to a waiting list.
If you are unable to make the payment within 30 days, please email us before you apply. We will always try to accommodate your payment needs.
Applying for a Low-Wage/Low-Resource Place:
The International Bateson Institute is a not-for-profit organization, so there is limited abundance, and everything we have is being paid forward. As a general rule, we don’t profit from Warm Data Labs or People Need People sessions. Donations and grants cover all of our operational expenses and public-facing work.
We sincerely appreciate everyone who chooses to join our course. The payment system is designed to balance economic accessibility, with those with greater financial resources helping to support those with less.
We hope that you'll consider your own position within this global economic framework and contribute accordingly.
If you would like to apply for one of these low-wage/Low-Resource places, please fill out the application form. We will contact you 4-7 days after we receive your form to confirm we have received your application, let you know if we have any questions, and let you know whether we can offer you a place immediately or will be placing you on a waiting list.
As part of your application process, we will ask you questions about how long you will need to pay the course fee. We understand that if you are applying at this price point, it may also mean there are needs around when to pay the course fee, and we are happy to work with you to make the payment affordable and viable.
We cannot always offer as many places as we get applications for, and we will try to accommodate as many applications as possible.
Please note we are not able to offer any further reductions on the course fee at this time.
