How much does Sampler cost? 

Nothing.  Zip.  Nada.  0.  Zilch.  'Tis free it 'tis.

Participants in Sampler are encouraged to find sponsors to support their time in the program.  At the end of the session, each participant receives a check for up to $500, depending on how much sponsorship they raise, PLUS a $100 stipend for being part of the program.  It can be hard to give up a summer job to spend three weeks away at something like Sampler, but there are also lots of people who are eager to support this kind of learning and serving by sponsoring someone's participation (you might be surprised)!  

We do ask for $50 when you're accepted just in case you accidentally throw a desk out a third story window or lose your key, but assuming those things don't happen we'll gladly return it to you at the end of the summer.
