Grants
Building Your Grant Request
Individual grants typically take the form of partial payments, usually in the $1,000 to $6,000 range and are made directly to the AWSNA/WECAN member institution or program on behalf of the applicant.
​
When funds allow, we may consider granting some support with travel expenses to/from the training center; however, we do not fund living expenses.
​
Be certain that the training center to which you are applying holds a “Full Member” status with AWSNA/WECAN.
​
Include with your application:
• Valid email and mailing address where you can be reached (responses are usually emailed in late February or early March)
​
• A biographical sketch stating your education, any connection to Waldorf Education and your previous life and
work experience
​
• Three letters of reference, personal and professional
​
• Specify the amount you are requesting and the intended use of such a grant
​
• Describe the benefits to be realized as a result of the requested grant to a particular Waldorf School or to Waldorf Education
as a whole
