Sliding Scale Tuition

To promote equity and access to our farm education programming, we offer self-selected sliding scale tuition.

  • Community-Supported and Partial Tuition Support levels are for those facing financial hardships.

  • Base Price is the standard level for the program per student.

  • Community Supporter and Farm Education Champion levels are for those who have the financial means to help learners in our community access our programs regardless of their ability to pay.

We ask that you please consider, from your current economic position, a generous amount to give. Kearsarge Food Hub is a nonprofit organization supported by community members and any generosity above and beyond the base price makes offering sliding scale tuition possible.

You may also request full tuition support or a payment plan if you need additional support. Note that we are an approved education service provider through Education Freedom Accounts and welcome this form of payment.

We are committed to welcoming all learners, regardless of their ability to pay. All payment amounts will be kept confidential. Please reach out with any questions.
