The Chautauqua Scholarship Program is a unique 4-week summer program held at the Chautauqua Institution, New York State. With the support of staff, students take part in class activities designed to strengthen their Christian faith, build confidence and encourage leadership. As students come from the United States, Canada and abroad, there are also opportunities for cross-cultural learning. In addition, students enjoy the Chautauqua Institution's own program of education, arts, religion and music. See www.ciweb.org for the Institution's latest program information.
Candidates must be energetic and enthusiastic Christians between 19 and 25 years of age, must have completed two years of college or work and must have an appreciation for the arts, music and learning.
The scholarship includes a gate pass to the Institution, a shared room in the Order houses on the grounds, all meals, special studies class fees, entertainment and some recreations costs.

The North American Indian needs have been a concern of the Order since 1934. After World War II the Order became aware of the needs of the youth of the Indian community to receive Post secondary education. Poor health and other problems needed addressing also.

The Order offers $650.00 scholarships with no restriction as to Tribal affiliation or Indian blood quantum. The student must provide a Tribal Registration number and fulfill the other requirements. The scholarships are given for technical, vocational or college studies but not granted for studies beyond a Bachelors degree.
A student must personally request information concerning requirements and application forms. The request must include a stamped, self-addressed legal sized envelope, and the deadline is April lst. Send to the address above.
