Scholarships

Full Scholarships:
There are a few, very few full scholarships available
for students in third world countries or countries with foreign
exchange problems or huge currency discrepancies with the U.S.
dollar, for example, countries where an educated person would earn
a fraction of what someone doing the same job would earn in North
America or Western Europe.
Since there are so few such scholarships, qualifications
will be assessed using an extremely high standard. Previous
education, employment, and career interests will be considered
along with goals and the particular political circumstances affecting
opportunity in the prospective student's country of residence.
A full scholarship would include all course material,
feedback on homework, and mentoring through the research projects
that are expected at the higher levels of the course. They
do not include "peripherals" such as supplementary textbooks,
computers, internet connection, and such. However, more affluent
students are encouraged to sponsor scholarship students. Donations
of books are much appreciated.
Partial Scholarships:
Some students are in a position to pay for the
course but using a standard more consistent with earning power
in their countries. Therefore a sliding scale will be considered
in some instances and I encourage people not to be embarrassed
by disparities in the cost of living. I have spent much of
my life in foreign countries and am well aware that affluence is
not evenly distributed on the Planet.
Donations:
Cash donations to the scholarship fund are managed
by Sacred Medicine Sanctuary in a special fund for Sacred Service.
All donations, large and small, are welcomed.
Donations are used 100% for the students receiving
scholarships. Where a student is deserving, the course materials
are provided free of charge. The scholarship enables recipients
to acquire textbooks, attend seminars, and receive gifts, such
as software and computers, that put the scholarship student on
a more equal footing with others in the course.
Donations can be made at any time and in any
manner. Some people may wish to ship textbooks or money orders
directly to a deserving student; others may be in a position to "adopt" the
scholarship student and support much of the student's requirements
while a student in the course.
For your convenience, an online donation form
is available below.
Thank you and blessings,
