Scholarships
The LREDA Board has budgeted funds to support members taking Spark Programs. Check out the latest offerings.
Applications are accepted throughout the year until all the funds have been awarded. Priority will be given to educators with marginalized identities.
These funds are for educators not in the Credentialing Program. If you are enrolled in the Credentialing Program and need financial support, please apply for a Credentialing Scholarship. The UUA has a sliding scale of fees for Spark programs. If awarded a scholarship, please pay the full cost option on the application form and LREDA will reimburse 50% of the cost once the training has been completed.
LREDA can provide scholarships of up to $140 for LREDA members taking the Faith Formation Reframe Retreat offered by the Meadville Lombard Theological School
To apply for a scholarship please complete this Application Form.
Funds for religious educators are also available from the Unitarian Universalist Association. If you have any questions, contact Juliet.
