What are policies on reduced tuition, scholarships, work/study.
|
|
Students registered in certificate programs are not eligible for CIIS university scholarships / need-based scholarship available though
|
As stated: "As we are an NGO, we do not offer scholarships or payment plans for students. The payments we receive for the program are poured into supporting the indigenous communities that we have relationships with, therefore, these are where our scholarships go."
|
"Funding is available for outstanding practitioners in financial need and those from rural, regional areas and/or those from indigenous or other diverse groups to support part of the tuition fees for the course. Some financial assistance is available on a competitive basis."
|
As stated: "GDP-adjusted tuition: If you work in a country with a significantly lower GDP compared to Germany, a discount between 10% (estimate) and 20% (estimate) will be granted. Scholarship: This serves to facilitate access to the training for particularly well-qualified and highly motivated applicants who could otherwise not participate for financial reasons. The scholarships offer a needs-based discount of up to 100% on the course fees.
Discount on individual application: A limited number of spots per course is reserved for applicants with serious financial disadvantages (e.g., due to disability or chronic illness). You may submit a corresponding request for a discount (stating reasons) as part of your letter of motivation when applying for APT. Whether and in what amount a discount can be granted will be decided in the admission process."
|
scholarships available, but no details on website
|
"A limited number of partial scholarships are available from our Diversity Fund. Fluence also works with the Healing Advocacy Fund and Sheri Eckert Foundation’s fellowship programs for additional funding for students in this program."
|
500€ discount if tution is payed in full upfront; no scholarship yet, but it is being worked on.

As stated: "Whilst the curriculum is the same for all learners enrolled, in recognition of the unique roles and levels of responsibility of prescribers and therapists, assessment tasks differ for prescribers and therapists and serve to differentiate the CPAT award into two distinct awards: the CPAT-Prescriber and the CPAT-Therapist. Only psychiatrists and medical practitioners will be eligible to complete the assessment for Prescribers and be awarded the CPAT-Prescriber. The awards of CPAT-Prescriber and CPAT-Therapist are dependent on successful completion of all assessment items.
