Hello Emily,
The $500 that you are paying is right in line for scholars who are charging an honorarium these days. That amount can encompass their travel and a hotel, which in Virginia is often more than it is in other states. We tend to pay our Board of Scholars members around that amount for a day's work.
Best of luck!
