Pricing

Rates are also found on each individual conference listing. Please click here for the conference list. Room & board rates do not include conference program fees.

Standard rooms are in the Oceanic Hotel, Gosport Building, or Cottages with shared half-bathroom. Motel units are rooms in Founders, Sprague, YPRU or Baker with en-suite half-bathroom.

About our Rates

Room and Board covers a portion of our total annual operating costs, such as creating drinking water, generating electricity, properly maintaining our grounds, historic buildings and facilities, and treating and managing wastewater. Star Island Corporation is a 501(c)3 organization, and in addition to room and board, we rely on tax deductible charitable donations.

 

Discounts

In an effort to make Star Island accessible and affordable for everyone, we offer a variety of discounts. Please visit our discount page for more information.

 

Financial Grants

Information on Financial Grants for the 2021 conference season will be available soon.

If paying at the full rate would preclude you and your family from attending a program, please review this information or contact the island registrar.

Many conferences/programs have established scholarships to support the community. Star Island Corporation has a financial grant program to support this effort as well. The confidential programs are available to individuals and families who are registered for a conference.

Please consider the following when applying for Star Island Financial Grants

  • Applicants may receive both a Star Island financial grant and a Star Island discount (if applicable).
  • Financial grant awards typically will only cover part of room and board, not the full amount.  Also, they do not cover any programming fees required by the conference.
  • Individuals and families who are eligible for one of our discounts may also apply for financial grants.
  • The total amounts given out in financial grants are dependent upon the number of approved applicants.
  • Financial grant applicants must already have registered for the conference.  If paying the registration fees and deposit upfront presents a hardship, exceptions can be made.  Please contact the Island Registrar, registrar@starisland.org
