Financial Guidelines for Master Guide Classes

Guidelines for Master Guide Class Finances



- In an effort to standardize the dues/fees collected in all Greater New York Conference Master Guide classes, we have identified two categories of cost: Standard Items and Potential Differential Costs.

- Standard Items must be provided in all Greater New York Conference Master Guide classes.

- Potential differential costs are those that are specific to individual classes.

- The total cost for each class is $85.00/candidate (Standard Items - rounded) plus any differential cost that may be provided by a specific class.

- All payments are non-refundable and must be paid before investiture. If payments are not made before investiture, candidate will not be invested.

- Dues paid apply to the current year only and are not transferable.

- To get the financial guidelines for a specific class contact the instructor of that class.
