We will bring 20 US educators to the 2026 Summer Academy, 2-10 July. We do our best to raise the $5,500 cost (that includes airfare) for public school teachers, and prioritize those who use Centropa and for whom our resources will continue to be used in their classes. Educators in private/independent schools, museums, universities, and other organizations must cover all of the costs of their trip (or, as most do, have their institutions cover it).

Each participant—whether your trip is covered by a grant secured by Centropa or your trip is covered in some other way—must cover the following costs:
- $200 registration fee
- travel/medical insurance—we are not responsible for any costs incurred by cancellation of the trip or delays or medical emergencies in Europe
- getting to/from airports
- meals on free evenings
- any extras you might want for your flights (legroom, more than 1 bag, trip costs beyond what it will cost to bring you back and have you return home directly—for example, if you want to arrive early or travel in Europe after, we will only cover the cost of a ticket to Vienna and returning from Prague, etc.)

Please note: Those whose trips will be paid by a Centropa grant will be expected to purchase their flights, provide us with all documentation upon purchase, and we will reimburse you after you return from the Summer Academy.
