Thank you for your interest in scholarships at the Shift Network! We welcome your participation in our mission and look forward to nurturing your ability to become an agent for change. This page describes our scholarship program and provides a link to the application form.

PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES CAREFULLY OR YOUR APPLICATION COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.

What are the eligibility criteria?

We award scholarships based on three factors:

  • How the course relates to your personal goals and life purpose
  • Your ability to translate the training into action in the world
  • Financial need

We take into account whether you are currently receiving a scholarship or have received one in the past.

If you have already signed up for a course, you are disqualified from receiving a scholarship.

What are the award amounts?

We award scholarships as a percentage discount from the full price of the course. You cannot apply for a particular amount.

When do you begin accepting applications?

We begin accepting applications when a course is first announced, typically three to five weeks before the course starts. If you feel that a course is missing from the list, please click the Submit a Request link at the top of this page and ask.

I don't see the course I'm interested in on the application form. Can I still apply?

If the course you're interested in is not listed on the application form then we are either not offering scholarships for that course or the application period has closed.

When do you notify applicants of your decision?

All decisions, both offers and denials, are sent by email by the end of the business day before the course starts. We do not make decisions earlier than that. We realize this is a tight timeline, but many people register for our courses in the last few days before a course starts and we make decisions based on overall enrollment.

Should I register while I'm waiting for a decision? I don't want to miss getting into the course.

Do NOT register for the course while you're waiting for a decision, as you will no longer qualify for a scholarship. We always hold open the number of seats that will be awarded scholarships so you don't need to register to hold a place.

After I receive a scholarship, how do I pay what the scholarship doesn't cover?

Your award letter will contain a link to our payment center where you will securely pay for the balance of the course. You'll also have the option to pay the balance in two payments if you prefer. We do not offer any other payment plans.

What is your refund policy for scholarships?

The intention of our scholarship program is to support people who want to activate a shift in consciousness in the world, but who otherwise would not be able to afford to participate. We expect applicants to make sure the course is right for them before applying. Since we are willing to provide financial support to the right applicants, we feel it is only fair to ask for a firm commitment in return. Thus, the course fee that you pay is non-refundable.

Can I appeal your decision?

All scholarship decisions are final. We do not accept appeals.

How do I apply?

Anything else I need to know?

It is important that you understand that all decisions about your application will be made based on the information you provide. We do not contact applicants for missing or unclear information, so please make sure your application is accurate and complete.

We reserve the right to verify all information provided in your application. We also reserve the right to withdraw our offer or deny access to a course if we find that the information is false or misleading.

I still have a question. How do I get an answer?
