Submitted by jenspolnik on Jan 25, 2012, 2:06pm
  • There are a limited number of scholarships available for several of our upcoming 2012 programs, including, Sobonfu Somé, Connecting to the Divine Natural World, Sacred Partnership with the World: Animal Totem, and Music of Life(Ustad Nizami).

The Center established a scholarship fund in 2011 to help those in need attend our programs. As donations earmarked for scholarship are received, the funds are allocated. For the 2012 program season, a limited number of scholarships are available to cover up to 50% of program fees (tuition+room+board). Programs with scholarship funds available are noted on the event pages on our website. Priority for awarding scholarships goes to those who have not previously attended a program at the Center.

Scholarship application and requirements:

• Deadline for application: 1 Month before program begins, March 1st for Men’s

Retreat.

• Submit a 1-page letter detailing your interest in the specific teacher/tradition and program for which you are applying. Include a brief statement of your financial need.

• In exchange for receiving scholarship funds, we ask recipients to submit a written reflection of their experience following the program and the impact the program has had on their lives. Excerpts from this written summary may be utilized by the Center in grant applications and in our marketing materials.
