There is no fee to you, since the Strategy Field Study is an academic requirement of the MBA and MPA programs. However, most organizations pay the students' out-of-pocket expenses for such items as copying and binding reports, long distance phone calls, travel (if necessary), and electronic database searches. Students are encouraged to review the question of expenses with you early in the project.

Some firms have been so pleased with the study that they have made voluntary donations to support the Faculty's strategy study program.
