Scholarship Opportunites are Possible!
Our Veterans and military families are our communities’ best assets. VYP envisions a future where all Veterans, active duty, their families, and communities have access to a full range of mind-body practices that support their efforts to be leaders in their own lives, in their own families, and in their own communities. VYP will continue to support recovery and resilience by expanding access to our courses and programs.
VYP intends to increase our programs to reach more Veterans, more diverse Veterans, more Veterans in rural areas, justice-involved Veterans, and active duty military.
Our goal is to help as many Veterans and Veteran teachers capture their passion to become Mindful Resilience Yoga Teachers by taking our
Mindful Resilience for Trauma Recovery Training* or our Mindful Resilience Yoga Teacher Training.
*MRT training by itself does not grant yoga teacher certification or authorization to teach yoga classes. Upon completion, participants receive a certificate that may be applied toward Continuing Education credits for those who are already registered yoga teachers at the 200‑hour level or higher.
How to Apply
While our resources are limited, we try to make partial scholarships available on a first-come, first-serve basis, as and when funding is received.
You may apply for a partial scholarship only. Please submit applications 30 days prior to the start of the training you are applying for. Once your application is received, it will be reviewed and the outcome will be communicated to you approximately three weeks prior to the start of the training.
Scholarship applications must be complete at least 30 days prior to the desired training. Scholarships are awarded on a sliding scale basis in accordance with financial need. At this time, due to the large number of applications, we are only accepting applications from Veterans, service members, or military family members.
Funding for scholarships is provided thanks to the generosity of our donors and in honor of selected loved ones.
We are very grateful and honored to support, and be supported, thanks to the Brendon LaCombe Priddy Yoga Scholarship and the MaryAnn Keats Fund.
