APPRENTICESHIP
 Learning
boatbuilding is a demanding natural discipline which involves
decisions, care, patience, forethought, and time. Here the apprentice
learns through boatbuilding as much as learning the actual technology
of construction.
We endeavor
to make the 2-year apprenticeship an affordable program that is
available to all people regardless of financial consideration.
We offer scholarships, and financial aid is available. If you
are interested in starting the process of financial assistance,
please contact us soon.
Tuition
Tuition payment, effective January 1, 2008, for the two-year apprenticeship
is $12,000.00.*
Conditions
A deposit of 10% ($1,200)
is due to hold your spot.
The balance of tuition ($10,800) is due before the start of the
first term. The Refund/Deferral Policy applies to tuition payments.
Tuition breakdown
Year 1 - $12,000.00
Year 2- No monetary contribution. Tuition is paid through labor
for learning as you mentor first year apprentices while continuing
to learn the more advanced aspects of boatbuilding.
*Tuition rates generally change annually. Beginning in
July 2008 tuition will increase to $12,500.
Financial Aid
Scholarships are available on an as-need basis. Please contact

INDEPENDENT
INTERNSHIP
The
internship program is designed for participants who want to learn
the basics of traditional boatbuilding through hands-on experience.
Participants who have the most successful internships are curious
and self-motivated, but are also willing to seek help and ask
questions. The internship is also our most flexible program in
terms of schedule and curriculum; we can customize an internship
to meet the needs of almost any individual, while maintaining
our emphasis on the care and patience required to engage in wooden
boatbuilding.
Tuition
and fees for Internship
Tuition for a 6-week internship is $3,000.00.*
Tuition for an 8-week internship is $4,000.00.*
Tuition
for a 10-week internship is $5,000.00.*
Tuition for a 12-week
internship is $6,000.00.*

For
the additional cost of materials, Interns can take their boat
home upon completion of the program, though there is no obligation
to do so. If not purchased by the builder, intern-built Susan
skiffs are sold to support 'Shop programs.
Conditions
A 10% deposit is due to hold a spot for you at your scheduled
time in the 'Shop. The balance of tuition is due before the start
of the program.
The Refund/Deferral Policy applies to tuition payments.
*Tuition rates are subject to change.
There is an additional fee of $40 to cover the cost of a personal
respirator. This fee may be waived if the intern arrives with
an approved respirator and appropriate cartridges.

cooperative internship are the same as independent internship
prices. In addition, Franklin
Pierce and/or the applicant's home nstitution may charge per
