Bursaries are available for Ridhwan students:
- who have attended at least two retreats and need financial help, or
- who undertake significant work in support of retreats.
There are two bursary funds students can apply to for support, DHAT and the Student Bursary Fund (SBF). Students who receive bursaries are asked to undertake up to 10 hours of activities on retreats.
DHAT Bursaries
DHAT can provide up to 50% of the tuition fees, including the cost of 1 private session, for a retreat if:
- You have a medical disability
- You are a spiritual teacher living on donations
- You live on a low pension
- You are experiencing temporary financial hardship.
UK Student Bursary Fund (SBF)
The SBF can provide support towards accommodation, travel and subsistence expenses. The SBF is funded entirely by student donations and revenues from recordings.
If you wish to make a donation to the SBF, in support of your fellow students: You may leave money in the donation bucket at each retreat. You can also send a cheque, made payable to Ridhwan Bursary and posted to Derek Netherton.
