DISCLAIMER. READ THIS FIRST:

Please note that this table is NOT evergreen. It is provided in the honest interest of just helping you out. It was originally published on Feb 2, 2024 with data retrieved from the various intstitutional websites in December 2023.

Prices and group details may change over time. There may be mistakes.

I will do my best to keep it updated, but please do your own research before making decisions as I cannot be held responsible for that.

Also note that I have obviously not joined nor am personally familiar with all of these groups.
Just because an institution is on this list does not mean I can openly recommend them.
I do not have the authority to rank them either. Again, please do your own research.
Other than being a regular member in some of them, I am not affiliated with any of these programs in a directive capacity and am not receiving anything from any of them to put them on this list.

Your use of this table means that you have read this disclaimer and agree to use under your own peril/responsibility.

Best,
Angelica

NOTE FOR CONTRIBUTORS: This spreadsheet is an open file. You may edit fields and add new organisations.
Once you have finished your edits, please colour your fields in yellow so I know they are pending to be copied to the master file.

WARNING: Remember this is a public and open file to everyone with the link. Do not leave any personal contact information you do not want others to see.
Please be very careful with turning filters on and off because this could seriously mess up the rows of the table, mixing up all the information for the wrong place.

Thank you for your kind contribution to making this a public resource for all of us.
