"Sisters Helping Sisters" Scholarships:

If you are a member of SCN and have an annual family income of $50,000 or less, you may apply for a $75 scholarship. If you would like to apply for a scholarship, please answer the following questions.

Scholarships will be based on perceived need, the thoughtfulness of your response, and your interest in sharing what you learn in your community (for example, by starting a writing circle or developing other women's story-sharing activities). Our desire is to encourage the attendance of a diverse group of women who want to share their stories and help other women enjoy the benefits of women's story-telling and story-sharing.

Scholarship Application deadline: April 15, 2007

If you request a subsidy, you must pay a $75 deposit towards your conference fees. If you receive a subsidy, you will then pay the remaining fee (the $180 full conference fee, minus the subsidy, minus your $75 deposit). This amount must be paid by May 1, 2007. If you do not receive an award your deposit will be returned or applied to your full registration.

We ask that those who receive subsidies help out during the conference by working in a volunteer capacity; our volunteer coordinator will contact the recipients to assign them a shift/job.

I want to apply for a $75 scholarship for registration fees

Tell us a little about yourself, including your reason for applying for a scholarship:

One of the objectives of "Land Full of Stories" is to return to our communities and share our discoveries with others. In approximately 200 words, explain how you will help the Story Circle Network achieve this objective.

As a Sisters Helping Sisters recipient, will you agree to share your follow up experiences? Yes / No

Thank you for your scholarship application. We will notify all applicants by May 9, 2007.
