To apply, please document what POC/BIPOC lineage you identify with, along with submitting the 2-3 PAGE ESSAY on why you want to be training in this work. *This option is reserved for POC individuals in financial hardship, otherwise it affects how many we can give out to those in need.
FULL SCHOLARSHIP OPTIONS FOR DIGITAL FACILITATOR COURSE
OPTION 3- We offer 2 Full Scholarships Per Year for POCs, Trauma or Abuse Survivors, Single Struggling Parent or Others in Hardship. THIS IS ONLY FOR THOSE IN EXTREME FINANCIAL HARDSHIP AND WHO HAVE THE CAPACITY TO LEARN THIS WORK (meaning you are not in physical or emotional hardship because then it could be unsafe to facilitate for others).

A FINAL NOTE FROM THE SBA FOUNDER, KAYA LEIGH,
ON MAKING A TRAINING A REALITY IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE CURRENT FUNDS...
Kaya writes: The very first trainings that I took I had to find a way to fund, as I did not have the financial resources available to me at that point. I actually had to take out lines of credit for them to pay back overtime. And...it was the best thing I ever invested in – myself, my calling, and my purpose. If you truly want something for yourself and it’s in alignment, the universe will find a way to make it happen. But you have to have the willingness to show up. Firstly, it’s important to overcome any limiting narratives which suggest that it’s not possible for you and instead activate your innate resourcefulness, resilience and creativity. The moment you say "I can’t" or "I don't have the money", you will set this in motion. However the moment you say "I will find a way to make this happen", it will be so. In the same way that many have had to take out educational loans for University, Healing Arts Trainings are equally as valid and vital. To support you in your resourcefulness, we have compiled a list of creative avenues for training fundraising.
How to Get Creative with Fundraising
1- Utilize your network. Ask your family, friends, etc to donate- tell them this training is really important to you and will support you with the evolution of your skills and knowledge base. Ask them if they will help you with the funding you need to make it a reality.
2- Start saving! Delayed gratification can be even sweeter. Enrollment for our trainings is available year-round and in-person intensives will be held multiple times a year. Also, remember this course will pay itself back many times over if you decide to become an active Practitioner.
3- Consider crowd funding (Go Fund Me or Kickstarter) or independent fundraising initiatives.
4- Ask someone to sponsor you.
5- Ask for early birthday money from family.
6- Take out a line of credit or a loan (even from a family member) to pay back.
And so many more avenues if you get creative! Remember there are infinite resources at your disposal if you simply take the time to explore them… You are an inherently abundant being. You got this!
