At SIY Global, we are working to make mindfulness and emotional intelligence practical and accessible. We recognize that cost is a barrier to participation and are happy to offer scholarships to our programs. Scholarships are awarded based on an individual's financial resources and their commitment to integrating what they learn at the program into their life.

If you haven’t yet heard from us, you will soon!  We typically send out an email to let you know if you did or did not receive a scholarship about three weeks before in-person programs start and one week before online programs.

No. Scholarships go towards covering the fees of the program itself, all follow up materials, and any meals at the program (if provided). For in-person programs, we cannot cover the cost of your transportation to our program or any associated accommodation costs.

Yes. Please have everyone apply for a scholarship separately and mention in your application why you believe attending together is important.  If you have more than 10 people from your organization who would like to attend and need scholarships, please email programs@siyglobal.com to discuss the possibility of a group scholarship.

Given the demand for scholarships to programs, it is possible that not all members of your group will receive one.

We are rarely able to provide full scholarships to programs. Offering partial scholarships enables us to offer scholarships to a greater number of applicants. That said, if you are unable to financially contribute towards the program fee, please share that in your application.

No, scholarships are not transferable between programs.  We evaluate applicants to each program based on the pool of applicants to that program. You are more than welcome to submit a new scholarship application for a different program, but receiving a scholarship to one program does not guarantee that you will receive it to a different program.

When you receive a scholarship to a program, you are guaranteed the funds to that specific program, but not a seat.  All of our events - both in-person and online -  have a participant cap to support the program experience that cannot be changed.  Occasionally after sending out scholarship letters a program will sell out. Given that, we recommend you purchase your ticket as soon as possible after you receive your scholarship award email.  If your program sold out, you may reapply to a different program.

No, your scholarship is just for you.  We receive a large number of scholarship applications and are unable to grant them to everyone who applies.  If you are unable to attend, the scholarship will go to someone else who has applied.

If you still have questions, please mail programs@siyglobal.com.
