Course costs

We strive to maintain our course costs at an affordable level, keeping them as low as possible for our students.

Costs are divided into separate fees - SMBC tuition and TMIA Journey fee. However, the Summer Team cost will be an additional expense for students. Depending on the team's location, these costs will vary between $1,500 - $3,000. Students are encouraged to raise support and fundraise to cover these additional expenses. Students may be eligible for financial assistance. Please get in touch with us if you have any questions regarding cost.
