How much will it cost my community or agency to host a RARE participant?
Each participating community or agency provides a $19,000 cash match towards the approximately $32,000 needed to place, train, and support a full-time RARE participant. Communities are billed quarterly by the University of Oregon. The RARE Program administers the participant’s stipend, medical insurance, and educational award. The matching $19,000 must be confirmed before a placement is approved.
