Fees & Expenses
No Direct Fees
Students will not be charged direct admission fees but must adhere to the policies of their base institution.
Extra Costs
Since FIRE programs involve international travel and living on different campuses, students may apply for FIRE Fellowships and are encouraged to seek external sponsors.
Students whose extra costs are covered by an outside agency must provide written proof.
Graduation and Convocation
When certificates are granted at a UNITECR meeting, subsidies will be provided to cover most attendance costs.
A technical contribution to the UNITECR meeting is required.
The names of graduates will be posted on the FIRE website and maintained for three years.
