We believe financial circumstances shouldn't be a barrier to conservation. Our Pay-What-You-Can program offers a limited number of reduced-cost registrations to students and wildlife professionals who cannot reasonably afford our standard registration fee.
 

Our trainings are already priced substantially below comparable programs, and registration revenue helps support both the costs of providing these trainings and our conservation work. Please use this program when the standard registration fee would create a genuine financial barrier. A financial barrier means that paying the standard registration fee would require you to forgo other necessary expenses like food, utilities, housing, or loan payments; or take on substantial debt. It is not intended simply for those who would prefer to pay less.

​

We use an honor system and do not require financial documentation. If you need assistance, tell us what you can genuinely afford to contribute, and we'll do our best to help.
 

Because the number of these discounts is limited, we may not be able to fulfill every request. If you can comfortably afford the standard registration fee, your registration helps us keep these opportunities available for people who cannot.
 

There is no shame in asking for help. We simply ask that you help us steward this program so we can continue offering it.
