Registration
First and foremost, there is no cost to apply to SJTI. We trust that you will be timely in letting us know if you are unable to attend if you are chosen. Payment is due after you are notified that you have been accepted as a participant. Cost of registration is $495.00 per person. This includes your housing, food and institute expenses. This does not cover your travel/transportation costs. If you are interested in participating, the deadline for applications is April 6, 2010. Our hope is to notify applicants of our decisions by April 16, 2010. Since there is a limit of 50 participants, we will be intentional in selecting participants to create a balance in social group identities as much as possible. The Employee Identification Number for SJTI is: 20-8019329. Your institution might need this number for tax purposes.

To pay with a credit card, you can use PayPal.com and send a payment to Jessica Pettitt (our Administrative Coordinator) at sjtiadmin@jessicapettitt.com for the total registration amount + 6% for the PayPal.com processing fees. Please also note the participant's name, email, and indicate that you are attending the SJTI Student Experience session (Jess is currently accepting registrations for the Student and the Professional SJTI).

Once a PayPal.com payment is received you will receive an autoresponder from PayPal.com. Jess will also send you an email that your payment has been received.

Confirmation that you will be attending the institute is due by April 24, 2010. Please know that we have a waiting list and we hope that you will let us know as soon as possible if you cannot attend. The dates of SJTI are Wednesday, July 21, 2010 to Saturday, July 24, 2010.

Please note: All payments are non-refundable.
