 Scholarships for Pagan Students
Passing this post along to those who are interested.
Scholarships for Pagan Students There are
literally thousands of sources of
funding available out there for college students, from grants to loans to
scholarships. For many people, a scholarship is the way to go, because (a)
it can make a huge difference in the cost of your education and (b) you
don't have to repay it later on, like a student loan.
Many private groups make scholarships available. The following is a list of
scholarships which may be awarded to Wiccan or Pagan students. If you know
of a group or individual who has a scholarship plan available to Wiccans and
Pagans, please email me with information so I can add it to the list.
- Free Spririt's College Scholarship
Program<http://www.freespiritgathering.org/scholarship/index.html>:
One or two $500 awards given to students in an undergraduate or graduate
program of higher learning. The student does not have to be pursuing a
traditional program of study at a traditional college. Enrollment in a
therapeutic massage program, holistic healing program or other
non-traditional program qualifies.
