Grants & Scholarships

Beads on One String Foundation provides grants, scholarships, and fellowships to support individuals and groups in undertaking a bold experiment into the exploration and implementation of the Beads on One String Mission.

The principal focus of the Grants and Scholarships Program is to seek candidates who are motivated by spiritual values and endeavor to foster fellowship and unity through their studies and work. Grants and scholarships vary in range, typically from $200 to $2,000 depending upon the terms and the scope of activities involved with the scholarship or grant. They are intended as supplementary funding to existing or other sources of funding.

Grants and scholarships are open to all individuals around the world regardless of sex, age, color, nationality or religious background.

While the program does not emphasize any particular form of religious practice or worship, it seeks to provide support to persons motivated by spiritual values. The program has awarded grants to persons with a wide range of beliefs, practices, and philosophies. However, preference will be given to those who can articulate goals and demonstrate a deep commitment and understanding of the Beads on One String mission.

Preference shall be given to those applicants who, in written narratives and personal interviews, demonstrate one or more of the following:

The number of grants and scholarships, as well as the amounts will be determined based on a recommendation from the Scholarship Committee and voted effective by the board of directors.

One or more members of the Scholarship committee will be responsible for overseeing and assessing each individual recipient to ensure they are in compliance with the terms of the scholarship or grant that is provided.

It is expected that all recipients give a report on the use of their award. This may be in written form or illustrated as in a video or a combination of both.
