Registration and Fees: 

CWE is pleased to offer a sliding scale pricing system across our region. You choose to pay what feels right to you, no questions asked. We have moved away from the scholarship model to the sliding pay scale model in order to bring more equity into our pricing model. We know that scholarship applications rarely reflect the true economic situation of our clients and that as our client, you are the best judge of your economic situation. We trust you to make the choice that best reflects your ability to pay.  

We encourage you to use this as an opportunity to take stock of your financial resources, your privilege and how that has affected your ability to pay. Some things that might make you consider paying less on our scale include; carrying significant debt, caring for dependents (children, parents, family members, etc), experiencing discrimination in hiring, being a member of a historically marginalized group, or being eligible for public assistance. Some things that might make you consider paying more on our scale include:home ownership, expendable income, family wealth, orhigher education. With that said, don’t over think it, please just choose the level that resonates with you.  

What matters most to us is your active participation in the CWE community and feedback on your experience.
