Vision offers a number of partial scholarships each year, as well as a limited number of full scholarships. We distribute funds in the order they are requested, as available, and continue throughout the year as we often have donations to our scholarship fund right up to close of registration.
To request a scholarship, when you are in a position to complete a registration, please send the following information to director@vcwconf.com:
- Full name
- Short description of need (no more than 100 words)
- Amount requested
Please do not request a scholarship if you are unsure whether you are in a position to accept it (for example, are able to afford travel costs, arrangements for childcare, etc.)
We also offer Discounts to qualifying individuals.
Please Note:
- Recipients of full scholarships/winners of giveaways aren’t eligible to receive additional scholarships for the next conference year.
- Recipients of partial scholarships are likewise not typically eligible to receive scholarships for the next conference year, though some rare exceptions apply.
- Most scholarships are applicable for Standard, Economy, or Basic Economy double or triple rooms, though we do, occasionally, have scholarships available on any room type. Any relevant stipulations are clearly stated in the award email.
- Due to the number of requests, there is a 48-hour acceptance window after a scholarship is offered before monies are returned to the scholarship pool for redistribution.
- Also, due to the number of requests, once you have accepted and a scholarship code is generated, recipient has 48 hours from generation of the code to complete their registration before monies return to the scholarship pool for redistribution.
- If you are offered the amount you request and do not register, you are ineligible for scholarship funds for the current conference year.
- Scholarships are distributed in the order they are requested, according to amount requested. Meaning, if someone requests a full scholarship, then another person requests $500 in scholarship funds, and we receive a donation earmarked for a partial scholarship that meets the second person’s need, they will be matched with the available funds. If two people request an amount for which funds become available, the first person to request the scholarship who meets the criteria will be awarded the scholarship.
- Scholarships aren’t “stackable” with other discounts or offers.
- Scholarships aren’t transferable to anyone other than the person to whom the scholarship was formally offered.
