How much does an IMPACT trip cost?
IMPACT Winter Break and Spring Break Trips cost $155. Trips can be paid in full or in two installments. The first deposit is $95; the second is $60. Payments can be made at the Tate Cashier’s Window or at this link. If you do not meet your payment deadlines (posted below), you will be removed from the trip and notified via email. Payment deadlines vary by date-added. If there you have questions about the payment process or need special accommodations, contact the Participant Coordinator (ugacls.impact.pc@gmail.com).
Trip fees are all inclusive for the week, with the exception of 1 or 2 meals while on the road. Housing, transportation, and food for the week is included.
Is the payment refundable?
No, all payments to IMPACT are nonrefundable.
I would love to go on a trip, but I don't have the money. Do you offer scholarships?
The IMPACT Fee Assistance Program, funded generously through University grants and alumni donations, serves to offer a select number of UGA students the opportunity to attend an IMPACT Service Breaks experience by waiving the participation fee. Selection is based on merit as well as established financial need. Application review is a blind process to protect the privacy of the participant. Instructions on how to apply for the Trip Fee Waiver can be found within the Participant Application.
**Note: Applications for fee waivers for 2018-2019 are closed. Decisions for those that applied before 10/12 will be released before the first payment deadline for Wave 1.
Specifics
When you are notified of your trip placement, you will receive a "wave number" corresponding to the payment deadlines listed below. You must either submit your full payment by deadline #1, or submit partial payments (#1 = $95, #2 = $60) by your respective deadlines. Please note that these deadlines are hard - if you miss a payment deadline, you will be removed from the trip.
IMPACT values inclusivity and affordability. If you are unable to make a payment before your assigned deadline, reach out to the participant coordinator and request be shifted to the next wave. This must be done prior to your first payment deadline (ideally as soon as you know); we do not process requests for wave shifts if you miss a deadline. Please note the last waves for SB and WB as denoted below.
