WHAT
IS THE
OPEN CIRCLE FUND? |
|
The
Open Circle Fund was created in February 2006 as a
way in which selected students could come and study
at the Academy who might otherwise not be able to
afford to do so. For many years, the Academy has
prided itself on the holistic approach that it
applies to all aspects of the running of the school
and so the establishment of such a bursary fund
seemed a suitable cherry on its holistic cake!
Furthermore, as so many of our students so vocally
value the experiences that they have received as
being part of the Academy family, it also seemed
fitting that it should be primarily as a result of
their efforts that a new generation of students
should find their own place within the circle. And
so one generation of Academy students welcome in the
next.
The
monies for the scholarship were raised as a
combined result of the ongoing efforts
Academy Satsang and the
Academy Kirtan groups.

OPEN CIRCLE FUND
 The Open Circle Fund offered a 50% scholarship towards fees for one student each academic year to complete training in either the original holistic massage course or the reiki training. It is not designed to support participants on other postgraduate programmes and courses. In return for the bursary, the scholarship student offers a few hours each month in order to support the Academy. Apart from making the student a true part of the team, this effort serves to acknowledge the fact that the financial assistance is made possible in the first instance by the selfless service of staff and students over the course of the year. The scholarship student's duties might include placing leaflets in outlets, assisting with basic administrative tasks in the office and so on.
The OCF has been awarded for 2009/2010. |
