Program Fee and Sliding Scale Eligibility

The regular program fee is $1,200 for all participants.

Kriyabans who can demonstrate financial need or who are working for Ananda (Church, School, or other Ananda entity) at devotee wages, who are without another source of income or financial cushion are offered a sliding scale program fee of $600 - $1200. Please note that Deluxe or Standard housing options are not available if you are approved for the sliding scale program fee.

To take advantage of this sliding scale, you must request support from your Local Ananda Leadership. Please ask them to contact the program coordinator, Niranjana, in order to validate your financial need. ([email protected], Text Only: 530-913-1219)
