Applicants who are awarded a scholarship must respond to the email within 10 days saying that they accept the scholarship. If we do not receive a response within 10 days, the scholarship offer will be rescinded.
Ask the retreat center for a scholarship first. Many retreat centers and teachers offer their own scholarships, reduced rates or work exchange. Please request one from the place you are going before you apply to us, and include whatever they offer in your budget.
As part of this scholarship application form, you will be asked to provide a budget for your requested funds. Preference will be given to applicants who intentionally keep costs low.

Please have these documents ready before you begin the application to avoid losing progress while filling out the form.
