Sliding Scale Scholarship Information
and Application for
Consensual Non-Monogamy Coaching Program
Why I offer scholarships:
I am aware that some of the most amazing and deserving people in the world may not have the ability to pay the full fee for my course. I recognize and strongly value the diversity that people from all walks of life bring to my courses, including members of historically marginalized groups, people undergoing financial hardship, and citizens of countries with a disadvantaged exchange rate with the USA. For those reasons, I offer a limited number of reduced-fee scholarships.
Who is the ideal applicant?
The ideal applicant:
- Is committed to expanding their relationship skills as applied to consensual non-monogamy.
- Knows why they want to take my course, and what they will do with the information and support they gain.
- Is excited about the opportunity to take the course.
- Has ideas about how they will pay it forward.
- Wants to make a difference in their relationships and the world.
How to decide if you should apply:
Sliding scale scholarships are intended to benefit participants who truly need them. Before you apply, I ask that you consider carefully. Because we have a limited number of slots at the middle and lower end of the scale, we ask you to consider that if you purchase a course at the lower end of the scale when you can honestly afford the higher prices, you are reducing the spots available to those who truly need them. If you are able to afford the list price, please leave the spot for someone else.
Sliding Scale Tiers:
Take the time to carefully consider what you can honestly afford. Would paying for the course mean cutting back on extraneous spending for a while, or would it cut into your ability to provide for your basic needs?
Honestly assessing where you fall enables us to offer as many scholarships as possible to those who need them. It also helps to support the continuance of my work, and allows me to invest more time in building a strong community and creating low-cost and accessible resources.

Purchasing power parity:
Some of the most committed and engaged members of our learning community are based in countries with a disadvantaged exchange rate with the USA. I am happy to explore purchasing power parity between your country and mine, and offer a price based on the current exchange rate. Please include that request in your application.
