Salem Quarterly Meeting

Education Fund

Guidelines

It is the mission of the Education Fund Committee of Salem Quarterly Meeting to provide grants and non-interest bearing loans for "the education of members of the Salem Quarterly Meeting and their children" as instructed by Salem Quarterly Meeting in March 1979.

The term education is to be broadly interpreted to include religious education, lectures, conferences, special projects, for both adults and children.

One of the uses of the Fund may be for scholarships to schools and colleges.

The Committee has a limited amount of funds to be disbursed and will typically not be able to meet the full amounts of grants or loans requested. The committee is also unable to guarantee continued annual grants.

The Committee will accept requests from Monthly Meetings and from individual Friends.

Application Process

1. The applicants (or applicant family) must be active members in good standing of a Monthly Meeting in the Salem Quarter.
2. The attached application form [PDF] should be filled out and given to the Monthly Meeting clerk for certification.
3. The Monthly Meeting clerk will forward the application to the clerk of the Education Fund.
4. For applications for school scholarships, the application should be submitted by January 31. The Education Fund Committee meets regularly in February to consider requests for school scholarship grants.

Note: applications for other educational purposes (i.e. not for scholarships to schools and colleges) will be considered at the February Committee meeting, and throughout the year as the need arises. All applicants for any type of educational grant or loan must be active members within the Salem Quarterly Meeting.
