VALLEY WALK TO EMMAUS

SCHOLARSHIP POLICY

 

 

            The Valley Walk to Emmaus Board of Directors wants to offer any person an opportunity to attend the Walk to Emmaus or to serve on an Emmaus team regardless of their ability to pay as long as there are funds available in the treasury.  The following guidelines should be followed to request a full or partial scholarship for a pilgrim, clergy or worker:

 

  • For a pilgrim, the sponsor should inform the Registrar during the application process.
  • For clergy and workers, a request should be made to the Week-end Lay Director.
  • The Registrar or Week-end Lay Director should make the request known to the committee within the Board of Directors who will vote on the appeal.  The committee will consist of the Board Chair, Treasurer, and Registrar.
  • If approved, the Treasurer will handle the payment records accordingly so that the individuals are listed as “paid” at the time that payment is due.
  • Clergy may request one full scholarship a year
  • Clergy will only pay half price for each walk that they work.
  • Team members may request one full scholarship per family per year or two partial scholarships per family per year.
  • Pilgrims will be given priority over clergy and workers if funds are limited.

SPECIAL NOTE TO ALL MEMBERS OF EMMAUS:

 

Many of you have indicated that you would be happy to donate to a scholarship fund.  The treasurers have set up a separate account for scholarship donations for that purpose.  If you would like to make a donation, just make your check payable to Valley Walk to Emmaus and designate it for the Scholarship Fund.
