Valley Walk To Emmaus Scholarship Policy
The Valley Walk to Emmaus Board of Directors wants to offer any person an opportunity to attend the Walk to Emmaus or to serve on an Emmaus team regardless of their ability to pay as long as there are funds available in the treasury. The following guidelines should be followed to request a full or partial scholarship for a pilgrim, clergy or worker:
- For a pilgrim, the sponsor should inform the Registrar during the application process.
- For clergy and team members(Conference Room), a request should be made to the Week-end Lay Director.
- For servants, a request should be made to Team Selection.
- The Registrar, Team Selection or Week-end Lay Director should make the request known to the committee within the Board of Directors who will consider the request. The committee will consist of the Board Chair, Treasurer, and Registrar.
- If approved, the Treasurer will handle the payment records accordingly so that the individuals are listed as “paid” at the time that payment is due.
- Clergy may request one full scholarship a year.
- Clergy will only pay half price for each walk that they serve.
- Team members and servants may request one half scholarship every other walk served.
- Pilgrims will be given priority over clergy and servants if funds are limited.
