The cost for the 2007-2008 school year is $94 per classroom for AFA chapters. If your chapter did not participate in the 2006-2007 school year, AFA will pay 60% of the cost for the first five classrooms you sponsor; which brings the cost per classroom down to $76 each. In order to take advantage of this special rate, a minimum of five classrooms is required.
