Pricing & Equity Policy

Pricing & Equity Policy

StorieTree Professional Education is committed to reducing financial barriers to high-quality continuing education while maintaining fair compensation for presenters and administrative sustainability. This pricing policy reflects our values of accessibility, equity, transparency, and ethical practice.

Standard Pricing

Each course or event is assigned a standard registration fee based on:

• Course length and instructional time

• Presenter compensation

• Administrative, platform, and CE compliance costs

The standard fee represents the amount required to support the ethical delivery and sustainability of the program.

Equity-Based Pricing Options

When financially feasible, StorieTree may offer equity-based pricing options to increase access to continuing education. These options are applied consistently and are clearly described at the time of registration.

Equity pricing may be offered in one or more of the following formats:

1. Sliding-Scale Registration - Participants may self-select a registration fee within a published range. The full range and expectations for self-selection are displayed transparently prior to purchase.

2. Reduced-Rate / Equity Seats - Some programs include a limited number of reduced-rate registrations intended to support access for participants who may experience financial or systemic barriers, including (but not limited to):

• Early-career professionals or students

• Underpaid or high-burnout practice settings

• Financial hardship or limited institutional support

These options are offered using a self-attestation, trust-based model. No personal, financial, or identity documentation is required.

Non-Discrimination & Equal Educational Content

All participants receive identical educational content, materials, CE credit, and evaluation processes regardless of registration fee paid. Pricing tier does not affect access to instruction, learning objectives, or CE documentation.

Honor System & Ethical Participation

StorieTree operates on an honor system and trusts participants to select the pricing option that best reflects their current access to financial resources. Participants are encouraged to engage thoughtfully and in alignment with professional ethics and community responsibility.

Availability & Sustainability

Equity pricing availability may vary by program based on financial feasibility.

Pricing structures are reviewed periodically to ensure:

• Program sustainability

• Fair presenter compensation

• Continued access to high-quality education

StorieTree Professional Education reserves the right to modify pricing structures while maintaining transparency and consistency across offerings.
