Path Retreats is committed to offering financial assistance to those who need it.
Our Scholarship Fund was established to make the our retreats accessible to people who feel a strong call to do the process, and whose financial situation currently prevents them from attending. The fund is supported by donations from past participants, including past recipients of financial assistance and from our staff.
If your financial situation prevents you from attending one of our retreats, we strongly and openly encourage you to apply for financial assistance.
Each request for financial assistance is assessed in terms of financial need and the availability of funding.
How to Apply
As financial assistance is limited, we recommend that you apply as early as possible. To apply for assistance, please do the following:
Fill out the application form for the retreat that you are interested in, mentioning that you would like to apply for Financial Assistance.
Request a Financial Assistance Application from the retreat organizer via e-mail.
During the Pre-Workshop Interview, there will be an opportunity for you to discuss your ongoing application for financial aid.
Financial Assistance will be considered after your application form has been submitted and the Pre-Workshop Interview process is completed.
Our Global Scholarship Fund Committee carefully reviews and considers all requests for financial assistance. The assistance program is available for the majority of our retreats worldwide and the assistance is based on the need and availability of funds. Because of this, assistance for everyone is not guaranteed and, in order to help as many people as possible, we offer only partial scholarships, not full scholarships.
Please Note: In some regions, it is required that you pay a deposit before scheduling your interview. Specifically for the USA, after the interview and acceptance into the process, you need to pay the workshop deposit before applying for Financial Assistance. You can then request a Financial Assistance form from the regional Financial Aid Coordinator.
Please also note that scholarships are not available at this time for Path of Love in India, and that our Australia region has established their own Scholarship Trust, which is managed by a committee based in Australia and funded by POL Australia graduates and staff. For more information on applying for financial aid in Australia, please contact Niten, at [email protected].
