Program Costs & Financial Support

Bethany Land Institute's programs require a small trainee contribution, but we want to emphasize an important commitment: NO ONE IS DENIED DUE TO LACK OF FUNDS. We believe financial hardship should never be a barrier to accessing formation in Integral Ecology.

To ensure all qualified students can participate, we offer multiple financial support options including work-study programs, opportunities to market goods to cover costs, full sponsorships, and partial scholarships through our Caretaker Assistance Fund. Our approach fosters both ownership and dignity while making education accessible to Uganda's rural poor.
