The Yoga Club Scholarship Fund
We are now in BETA phase of testing the website. Please DO NOT apply for consideration, during BETA. We will announce the oppening date for applications. Thank you.
Dear Friends,
We are in the process of establishing a Scholarship Fund, for the purpose of helping yogis and yoginis in their study and practice of yoga.
We dedicate a portion of our income to the Scolarship Fund. In addition to this, soon you will also be able to make contributions to the Fund directly. At this time, we are in the process of obtaining non-profit status for the Fund, so that your contributions will be tax deductible. We will inform you when this becomes possible.
Who will be considered for the Scholarships?
- People seeking assistance with Teacher Training and continuing education.
- People seeking assistance for attending conferences, workshops and events.
- People seeking assistance for traveling on a spiritual journey, staying at ashrams, etc.
- People seeking assistance for sabbaticals related to the study of Yoga.
No preference or special consideration will be given to gender, age, ethnicity, or yoga lineages.
Scholarships will be given based on merit and need.
For now, the amount of money awarded will be determined on an individual basis. Assistance can be partial or full, to be determined on individual basis.
Applying for assistance is no guarantee of receiving assistance. Your case must be worthy of consideration.
