Tuition

Rockwood believes leadership can and should reflect the diverse communities in which we live and work. We are committed to making all of our programs available to as many social change leaders as possible. Program tuition is determined on a sliding scale to ensure equal access to individuals from institutions of all sizes. Generally, the participant covers the cost of travel. However, if a donor or foundation underwrites a program, travel costs or fees may be partially covered by Rockwood.

Typically, it costs Rockwood around $4,000 per participant to produce a four-day Art of Leadership (AoL) training retreat and approximately $5,000 to produce a five-day, sector-specific Art of Collaborative Leadership retreat. These costs include staffing, marketing, individualized performance evaluations, a four- to five-day residential retreat rental (including room and board), curriculum materials, professional trainers and personalized follow-up evaluations.

The critical support of foundations and individual donors make it possible for Rockwood to subsidize training costs for leaders whose organizations have limited budgets. 

The following sliding scale tuition chart for the Art of Leadership program is used to determine fees based on an organization's most recent annual budget or a foundation’s assets. There is a different fee structure for both Leading from the Inside Out and sector-based fellowships. Contact us for more information.
