BBSH YEAR 4 SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

The 2010 Year 4 Graduating Class of the Barbara Brennan School of Healing together with Our Weeping Angel Foundation has created a scholarship fund for students in future Year 4 graduating classes at BBSH. The fund has been conceived and structured solely by the students of the Year 4 graduating class of 2010 and is independent of the school.

Donations made to this fund are specifically earmarked for students who are enrolled in Year 4 of either the Professional Studies Diploma program or the Bachelor of Science Degree program and who have declared financial need. These scholarships are not designed to fully cover tuition for any one student, but rather, to assist financially and energetically those students who are facing financial distress in the final stretch of a committed professional course of study. Scholarships awarded will be paid directly to the offices of the Barbara Brennan School of Healing and are for unpaid tuition expenses only.

The individual scholarship amount will roughly correspond to the amount of one payment of the monthly tuition payment plan available through BBSH. There will be a limited number of scholarships available each year. When the number of qualified applicants exceeds the number of available scholarships, a lottery system will determine who will receive the money. Monies raised beyond the number of scholarships available will roll over to the next year’s scholarship pool.

Scholarship applications are due between June 1st and July 15th.

Applicants will be notified of scholarship awards on or about September 15th.

Payment will be credited to the outstanding tuition balance no later than November 1st.

7. The Scholarship Committee will determine a contact person from the Graduating Class of 2010 to help the leadership of the Class of 2011 to navigate communication with OWAF and BBSH.
8. Once the Graduating Class of 2010 has presented our Gift (consisting of the initial scholarship monies as well as the structure of the fund) to the school, we will open donations to the general public; including but not limited to the student body, alumni, family and friends. OWAF will have clear information on their website specific to this program so that people can donate directly online.
