Why is there a non-refundable application fee?
The FIT registration fee helps to support maintenance of this webpage, the Eventbrite registration service, and staff support from the California Society of American Foresters.

Are there additional costs?
Tuition, room a board fees are waived for all first-time FIT participants courtesy of donations from the US Forest Service, Cal Fire, various foundations and individual contributors.  For more information about the agencies and individuals who help support FIT, visit our About page.
