Low Income Applicants - Rates/Support
- The DCC is committed to making the profound teachings of East and West accessible to all.
- We have developed two support options for those wishing to come to the DCC, with the intention of ensuring that financial hardship is not a barrier.
- We now offer:
- A low income rate of $60 per person per night for low-income membership holders. To qualify, gross income before deductions and expenses must fall into the LICO (Low Income Cutoff ) category as defined below.
- A Practitioner Support Fund. - Everyone is eligible to apply for this support, which is in place to help practitioners with accommodation costs.
- Spaces at subsidized rates are subject to availability, a maximum of three spaces per course being allocated to the low income rate.
"Low Income" is understood by the Dharma Centre as income within the preceeding 12 months falling below the pre-tax Low Income Cutoff (LICO) level as determined by Statistics Canada.
