Helping Women Bloom
in Their Own Lives
Financial Assistance Guidelines
The intention of the Financial Assistance Guideline is to acknowledge a woman’s request, assist her in making this request, and honor her financial need whenever possible.
A woman who chooses to attend a local Woman Within Weekend and cannot afford the full tuition may request financial assistance from Woman Within South Central USA. The Board of Directors grants a limited number of $200 scholarships to qualified candidates per Weekend. Please understand that we will do our best to honor your request. While we wish we could honor every woman’s request for assistance, it is not possible in all instances. While your request may not be possible for the current Weekend, it may be considered and granted for a future Weekend. The process to apply for financial assistance is outlined below:
Send an email to Woman Within South Central USA stating your need for financial assistance to the Center Director at centerdirector@womanwithinsouthcentralusa.org. This letter should include general information about yourself and your financial situation. All applications will be handled with confidentiality and will be destroyed after the process is complete. We ask that your email include information about each of the following topics:
PERSONAL CIRCUMSTANCES – divorce, relapse, death in family, etc.
FINANCIAL HARDSHIPS – single mother, full-time student, unemployed, etc.
EMOTIONAL/BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS – occurring in life right now
WILLINGNESS – in what areas are you open to change and growth
Alternatively, you may relay the above information to a member of the current Board of Directors or to the Center Director via another form of communication, i.e. a phone call.
You may also request that someone write an email on your behalf supporting your request for financial assistance. This email may come from a member of Woman Within, The ManKind Project, a minister, therapist, friend or relative. Please email this letter to the Center Director.
Once Financial Aid has been approved, the Center Director will notify you to choose from the list of upcoming Weekends, the Weekend you would like to attend. Select “Registration Financial Assistant Deposit: $150” – then fill out the registration information. You will be directed to our Paypal online payment processing portal where you either login to your Paypal account or scroll down and select to pay with a credit card. Your registration is not complete and the financial aid may be awarded to another applicant if you have not paid a deposit towards your registration.
Deadlines for all applications, deposits and emails of support will be communicated via email from the Center Director. If you miss a communicated deadline, your financial aid will be considered for the following Weekend. Please see the Cancellation Policy.
Please contact us if you have any questions about the application process or the status of your application at the following: centerdirector@womanwithinsouthcentralusa.org
