Faith Connections on Mental Illness (FCMI) has the opportunity to provide a limited number of scholarships to individuals to attend the Soul Shop for Communities workshop, which will be held at Emmanuel A.M.E. Church in Durham, NC on November 2, 2024. The scholarship will cover the workshop registration fee. Lunch is included with registration; other expenses, including lodging and travel, are not included and are the responsibility of attendees. The scholarship application deadline is 5:00 PM, Friday, October 11, 2024.
A review committee will select individuals with a financial need whom they believe are most likely to leverage the opportunity and are eager to learn and plan to apply the knowledge gained. Scholarship recipients will be notified by Friday, October 25, 2024.
Application Requirements:
- If seeking a scholarship you must do so BEFORE registering for the conference. Retroactive scholarships are NOT available.
- Must be a person with lived experience, family member/caregiver of a person with lived experience or a full-time student.
- Would be challenging to attend the conference without financial assistance.
We welcome everyone to the workshop and sincerely hope that individuals for whom we are unable to provide scholarships will be able to attend and share in the day’s learning and networking.
