In financing two seventeen-day residential workshops on the client-centered approach, participant tuition fees (based on each individual's ability to pay) were selected by participants themselves. Although fees ranged from zero up to five times the average amount, all expenses for the workshops were paid through patticipant's fees. Moreover, participants were admitted without regard to how much or how little they pledged to pay. Participants' reactions as well as a staff analysis of the financial experiment are presented. The practice of self determined tuitions was considered viable and advantageous for financing workshops for persons from a wide range of economic means. The practice was continued with similar results for a series of workshops between 1974 and 1980.
