Course Fees
BUILD Institute is proud to offer a sliding scale for all paid courses. Our sliding scale is based on household size and annual income. When registering for a paid cohort class, you will receive an invoice for the amount you are responsible for based on your reported household size and income in the registration survey. If you feel you are unable to afford the class fee after the sliding scale, please reach out to us at [email protected]. We remain committed to making entrepreneurship accessible to everyone and believe strongly that cost should never be a barrier.
