Financial Assistance Now Available
to Attend District LWML Events!
With the principal base of $25,000 having been reached in our SWD LWML’s “The Love of Christ” (TLC) Fund, we are now able to begin distributing the interest, in the form of scholarships, to SWD LCMS women who may otherwise not be able to afford attendance at retreats and district conventions.
The District’s Financial Taskforce established guidelines which have been approved by the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors. President Jan Dankwardt has since appointed the “TLC Application Review Committee” to implement these guidelines and begin awarding scholarships.
Confidentiality of all applicants, including those awarded scholarships, is a high priority; the only District personnel knowing their identities are the President and the event’s registrar. The Review Committee will rate each application on its individual merits and will not know the identity of any applicant. Those with the highest composite rating for each event will be awarded the scholarships. A limited number of scholarships will be awarded for each event. Details can be found on the application forms.
► It is important to remember that a new application must be submitted for each event.
To promote fairness, the following postmark deadlines will be enforced for each event (forms received after these dates will not be considered):
- Fall Retreats: June 30 the year of the retreat;
- Young Women’s Retreats: October 31 the year before the retreat;
- District Conventions: March 31 the year of the convention.
All applicants will be informed at least two weeks before the event’s early registration date as to whether or not they have been awarded scholarship money.
Applications forms are available in Publications & Forms (Category: Forms), from the District President or click here to download.
