Do communities pay to participate in a SEED project?
While there is no formal charge to a community for participating in SEED, the community would be expected to pay for any direct cost that the project incurs over and above what would be incurred otherwise. The agreement as to what expenses are to be paid and in what form is established between the community and the course instructor before the SEED project actually begins. To date, expenses have typically from $500 to $1,500. Examples of expenses that have been paid by communities include travel, supplies, copying and presentation materials.
