BYC Scholarship Information
Burlington Yoga Conference Scholarship Program: BYC grants 3 full scholarships.
This scholarship program is intended for yoga teachers and students, with limited income, who share yoga with under-served populations in the community. Scholarships are intended to support the participation of low-income yoga teachers and students who actively contribute their unique teaching abilities to the truly under-served. What is your plan to pay the knowledge forward?
These under-served populations include (but are not limited to):
Children/teens
Homeless Shelters
Senior Centers
Immigrants
People of low-socio economic backgrounds
Disabled people
Incarcerated populations
How to Apply: Email application to BYC
Deadline is April 20, 2010
We ask for the following information:
Essay: 200 words or less. Essay topics are not limited, but you may wish to reflect how yoga has impacted your life, and the lives of others, and why you are applying for the scholarship.
References: Please include 1 reference from your yoga instructor, teacher/professor, employer or any other person who will provide us with an additional sense of why you should be considered.
Ideally, the reference should be someone who has seen you teach to people who may not otherwise experience yoga.
I would like to provide a recommendation for a student who is applying for a scholarship for the BYC. Do you have a deadline or should I just forward here. Let me know please the best way to proceed.
