International Fee Schedule

As an organization, ISMETA recognizes differences in the cost-of-living in different regions of the world. We are committed to making our membership and services accessible to all who seek them. Our finance committee uses both a cost-of-living comparison as well as a consumer price index to set our international fees. We use the most current data available and our fees are set on a case-by-case basis for those requesting consideration.

ISMETA has decided to extend the sliding scale fees to all members who face financial challenges. The cost of ISMETA services should never stand in the way of participation. Contact info@ismeta.org for assistance.
