Practical Animism (May 2022) - Scholarship Application
*** Please Read First ***

Ancestral Medicine is offering a limited number of scholarships for the upcoming Practical Animism course starting in May 2022. If you have the time, attention, and motivation to join us, and the regular sliding scale options for registration would significantly affect your ability to meet basic needs, or otherwise causes detrimental financial impact, please apply for one of the scholarship options below according to your needs. We have very few individualized scholarships available and will not likely be able to accommodate all requests for this third option. 

Please consider both your current income as well as additional factors that inform your economic standing including, but not limited to: dependents or others who financially rely on you; financial burdens from ongoing healthcare, debt, etc;  personal assets and/or outside financial support; and relative socio-economic conditions where you live compared to other nations and regions. No proof of income will be required, and any information submitted will only be shared with relevant Ancestral Medicine staff.

We endeavor to keep our offerings accessible to people from a wide range of backgrounds while also supporting Ancestral Medicine staff and our many paid course supporters. When determining who receives the available scholarships, our team will generally prioritize those whose marginalized identities have direct bearing on their finances, including but not limited to BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color), LGBTQ+ folks, some applicants whose first language is other-than-English, lower income earners in the Global North and most people living in the Global South (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_North_and_Global_South), those serving historically marginalized communities, and those applying for an Ancestral Medicine scholarship for the first time. We are aware that exploitative capitalism, systemic oppressions, and all manner of sudden and unexpected hardship may contribute to financial burden for people of all backgrounds. We hope these scholarships can play some small role in offsetting inequality.

We encourage people to apply for scholarships early as we will review applications on a rolling basis. Most applicants will receive a reply within a week as to whether they have been approved, but those applying for an individualized scholarship may have to wait longer. Scholarship applications will close on Saturday, April 25th at 7pm EDT and all applicants will receive a response by the following Saturday, April 30th.

If you did not receive a confirmation email after submitting your application or have not heard back after a week, you can email info@ancestralmedicine.org to verify that we have received your application. If we have already received an application from you, and you decide you can't participate, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can consider other applicants.

There are three scholarship options. ***Option 1: $365 Scholarship - This scholarship is generally intended to assist anyone with additional financial limitations who would not be able to join the course at any of the regular sliding scale options. ***Option 2: $500 Scholarship - This scholarship is reserved for those with considerably less access to wealth in the global context which includes many living in the Global South and/or those for whom systemic marginalization directly impacts their access to financial resources. ***Option 3: Individualized Scholarship - If your need for assistance exceeds the first two options, you can request to set your own contribution for course registration.
***Individualized Scholarship Request Information
If you selected Option 3 above, please indicate below how much you would like to contribute (in US Dollars) as EITHER a one-time donation amount (ex. "$225 one-time"), OR a monthly donation amount for 3 or 6 months (ex. "$75/month x3" OR "$37.50/month x6"). If you have the time and motivation, but have no additional financial resources to contribute, you can also indicate that you are applying for a full scholarship.
