Jean Galloway Memorial Scholarship Fund
purpose
To enable young people with spiritual or financial needs to attend camp at a cost that is affordable to them.
In Mark 10:14, Christ commands his disciples: "Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God" (ESV). Today, finances are often the biggest hindrance from attending camp. The JGM Scholarship Fund was founded to remove this hindrance.
procedure
Scholarships are determined on an individual basis. The Financial Aid Form is designed in such a way as to give the participant/guardian the ability to determine his/her own level of need.
We ask that you contribute as much as you can to your child's week of camp. Many families need financial assistance. The more you can provide to help your child, the further we can stretch our scholarship dollars to help more families.
Woodlands will scholarship either a $50 or a $100 of one (1) camp weekend's fees per camper. Each camper may only attend one (1) weekend of camp on scholarship. Full scholarships are not available.
We will hold 10% of our space in each week of overnight camp for scholarship campers. Availability on our website DOES NOT reflect scholarship availability. Please contact the camp office for actual space available when applying for a scholarship.
Scholarships are available until all scholarship spots are filled OR until all scholarship funds have been depleted.
how to apply
Please complete the WKND Scholarship Form.
When we have finished reviewing your financial aid request, we will send you an email to notify you about the scholarship amount you are eligible for, as well as login information to be able to complete your registration online.
If you are a caseworker with Georgia Region 2 DFCS and you are interested in sending children in state or foster care to camp this summer, please email scholarships@woodlandscamp.org to find out more about DFCS Scholarships.
