Estimating Costs

You must be wondering howmuch it costs to attend the Global Young Leaders Conference?As per the GYLC website and the package that I received, the tuition to attend the conference in USA costs US $2,740 and the European program costs US $5,480. To know howmuch this is in your currency, click here.

This tuition includes stay, program materials, breakfasts, dinners and private motor coach transport within and between GYLC cities. However, transportation to and from the conference is not included. You will also need to carry your own money for lunch, phone calls and any other purchases that you will make during the conference.

Before you apply for the conference and start looking at your fundraising options, I suggest that you calculate an approximate sum of money that you will require to attend the conference. Typically, this will include:

1. Tuition – US $2,740 and Europe $ 5,480
2. Airfare (visit www.kayak.com if you wish to purchase cheap airfare and estimate travel costs)
3. Extras (lunch, phone calls, shopping, souvenirs etc.)

Estimating costs will help you get started on your fundraising efforts. Once you calculate your overall costs, begin by calculating the money that you already have. Subtract this from the overall cost and estimate the remaining amount of money that you will procure through your fundraising efforts.

Note: Before you begin your fundraising efforts, please notify GYLC about your interest to participate in the program and that you will begin fundraising and looking for sponsorships. GYLC accepts people on a first come, first serve basis. Notifying GYLC about your fundraising effort does not guarantee you a spot after you have acquired the required money. However, this will enable GYLC to know that you are interested and will help you once you have the money.
