Scholarship Application

Scholarship Application for Program Participants

Scholarship funds are available for the programs listed below to help lower financial barriers thanks to generous underwriting from individuals and foundations interested in supporting people’s journey toward wholeness.

We have a limited amount of scholarship funding that we can offer for each program. The amount of financial assistance provided is based on funds available, your requested need, and the requests of other participants. We typically offer assistance to partially offset tuition costs. You are responsible for your own room & board, as well as your travel expenses.

We are very intentional about separating the program application review process from the scholarship award determinations. Your financial circumstances are never taken into consideration when deliberating about your acceptance into a program. After you’ve been accepted to the program, we review your scholarship application and consider financial assistance allocations. We will inform you of the scholarship amount provided at least one month before the program start date, and likely earlier depending on the program.

If you have any questions about this form or the scholarship process in general, you can reach out to Morgan Stafford at programs@couragerenewal.org.

Fill out the form below to submit your application.

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL FIELDS THAT INCLUDE AN ASTERISK (*) ARE REQUIRED FIELDS.
