GA Youth Caucus Scholarships
The Youth Caucus Scholarship from the Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministries has awards ranging from $50-$500 U.S. Youth Caucus Scholarship Recipients must (A) be youth aged (14-20) and (B) have a financial need that would otherwise prohibit them from attending General Assembly (GA).
Priority is given to applicants who are seeking partial funding from a variety of sources (asking their congregations, holding youth group fundraisers, etc.), first-time General Assembly attendees, congregational delegates, and those willing to volunteer to help out at youth caucus events (worship planning, setup, etc.) Scholarship money can be used for GA Registration, housing, travel, or food at General Assembly. There are other sources of funding which you can read about on the Youth Caucus Registration Form.
Money can be credited to your account or sent as a check. Please specify which you would prefer in your application. The deadline for applications is April 20, 2009. To apply for the Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministries scholarship, send a letter to the Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministries (UUA, 25 Beacon St., Boston, MA 02108) or email us at youth @ uua.org with the following information:
- Name
- Date of Birth
- Congregational Affiliation/ Unitarian Universalist group Affiliation
- Are you going to be a Delegate for your congregation? (i.e. will you be representing your congregation in plenary as a voting member?)
- Why are you interested in attended General Assembly?
- Have you been to GA before?
- What other sources are you looking to for financial assistance?
- What is the amount that you’re requesting?
- If under 18 years of age by the time of GA, please let us know who your adult sponsor will be.
