Scholarships for Thorn & Blossom
This audience spans a wide range of countries and economic realities.
At Wonder Botanica we’re committed to creating opportunities for those who would not be able to afford courses with us under normal circumstances.
If enrolling in Thorn & Blossom is not possible for you right now but your heart is calling you to take it, we’ve created a small number of needs-based scholarships for you.
We’re creating these scholarships with a priority for BIPOC, trans folks, single parents, and people who live in countries with an exchange rate that makes the USD conversion prohibitive.
We know that a lot of scholarship programs make you write about your story and give an explanation as to why you are in need, but the idea of having to prove that you’re worthy of help doesn’t sit right with us: asking is hard enough without having to do a performance about it.
So, you don’t need to ‘prove’ yourself, and we’re not picking applicants based on your stories. If we have enough space for everyone, then we’ll let everyone in. If we have too many applicants, we’ll be picking people at random, using a computer program to generate the numbers.
There are two different types of scholarship available:
Approximately 50% off the course price
(for a total of $277).
Approximately 75% off the course price
(for a total of $144).
Here’s what you need to do:
Please email wonderteam@wonderbotanica.com with the subject header ‘Scholarship’. <— v. important, so that we can sort and find all the emails.
Write a short note about yourself, just so that we can know who you are and that you’re not a ‘bot.
Specify whether you’d like to receive 50% off the course tuition ($277), or 75% off the course tuition ($144).
If there are more applicants than we have space for, then we’ll choose names at random. Our hope is that there will be room for everyone.
We’ll let you know around 11am (PDT) on Monday morning: look for an email response from either Wonderteam, Rebecca or Maeg.
One more thing: if you want to be in the course, please don’t deliberate on this.
We’re only accepting applicants until Monday morning, at 10am, PDT, because we need to sort through them all and get you into the course! Any application emails received after 10am, PDT, will not be accepted.
This is a short window. In part so that you can rely more on instinct and gut and heart-feeling than your veryvery clever mind!
We recognise it is a big scary step, to say ‘I want this and I’m worth it’. Asking is hard!
But, do it anyway :D.
We’re so looking forward to seeing you in the course!
