WINTER AND
SUMMER WOMANSPIRIT CONFERENCES
SCHOLARSHIP
POLICY |
In the spirit of offering our programs to as many women as
possible, the Women & Religion committee of the UUA Central Midwest
District has established this statement regarding financial
scholarships:
Those women who are able to donate to the scholarship fund
are encouraged to do so at the level with which they feel comfortable. Those
women at a point in their lives where desire is sincere, but resources are
scarce, are encouraged to apply for these monies. To be considered for a
scholarship, an applicant must send both the completed registration form and a
letter requesting scholarship money to the W&R Scholarship chair, whose
name and address appear in the registration brochure and on the website.
Complete requests, including both registration and request letter, will be
accepted for consideration in the order they are received. The deadline is the
same as early bird cut-off for general registration.
Preference is given
to first time applicants. More than one scholarship may be granted to one
family, i.e., a mother and her daughter, depending on funds
available.
The Women & Religion Committee maintains the scholarship
fund, and administers the winter conference scholarship separately from the
summer conference scholarship. Donations included with regular registrations
for any conference will be applied to the fund for that particular conference.
As many awards as possible will be given at each conference, with only a small
amount carried over to maintain the fund. The Scholarship chair will work with
the Treasurer and Committee chair, especially when questions arise regarding
qualifications. It is the intention of Women & Religion to be as generous
and fair as possible; we are Sisters on a Journey.

Scholarships for CMwD Women and Religion Conferences are
supported through the generous donations of the CMwD W&R Committee,
contributions from women who attend the conferences, the Annual Ronora Silent
Auction, and all the proceeds of the W&R Store.
Thank you! |
