Announcement: Change in PLU Application Fee Structure and Submission Deadlines

Given increasing costs and the resources required to process PLU applications, the decision was made to increase the PLU application fee to offset these costs as follows:

IFPS Member Organization application fee: $2,000 USD

Non-Member Organization application fee: $3,000 USD

In addition, the deadlines for PLU application submission/adjudication deadlines have changed. Please see below for the new deadlines.

 To minimize the impact on applicants, IPFS has added one extra review period to facilitate the transition:

Submission Deadline of Application                    Decision Date
