What it costs, and what we’ll pay you to come. Both in gold. Naturally.
* Payments in gold, silver, or acceptable gems. No IOUs from people called "Bill." Ever. Not again.
Gold, silver, gems, or one (1) acceptable goat. The goat is appraised by Brother Anchor, who appraises everything with the same face.
The Quartermaster accepts payment at the Vault, at the Harbor, and — in emergencies — by thrown bottle, provided the bottle lands within 200 yards of the counting table.
— Brother Anchor, Keeper of the VaultWe don’t "award aid." We put a price on your excellence and pay it.
For the crew’s top navigator each year. Covers Full Plunder, Ship’s Pass, and the parrot. Named after the mermaid who paid off the college in 1703 (in shells, which we no longer accept, but we remember).
For any crew member who completes Storm Week without throwing up. Half of tuition, returned at the Treasure Count. Throwing up disqualifies you. It is that honest.
Your parrot grades your fees. Every clap is 10% off. Professor Feather’s birds average four claps a term, which is how Feather’s students always get paid. Coincidence? The parrot denies it.
Survive Grog-Free Week sober, on deck, in the wind. The entire Ship’s Pass, waived. The Galley watches the whole week. The Galley is not kind.
We do not do refunds. We do do treasure.
Any crew member whose first genuine find is worth more than their total tuition has the difference returned, minus one coin, which goes to Mrs. Oat for the kettle.
