We are so excited to have you join us for Living Room Sessions! You have requested information on scholarships but before you jump into the application, we just want to make sure you know that we would never want finances to be a hindrance to you joining us. God has provided for every need since we began back in 2017, and we believe He will continue to!
As part of the scholarship process, we ask each applicant to thoughtfully consider inviting a handful (5-10) of friends, family members, or leaders in your life to partner with you by contributing toward your registration. Not only does this help offset costs, it also gives the people who love you a tangible way to invest in what God is doing in your life. You may be surprised how eager they are to say yes.
Not sure how to ask for support? At the bottom of this page, you’ll find a text and email template to help you invite others to partner with you. Just copy and paste (personalize it before you send!).
Please note that we are asking all attendees, regardless of scholarship amount granted, to pay a minimum of $200 to secure your spot. Please reach out to Meredith (meredith@youareconference.com), if there is any concern over the ability to cover the deposit.
Scholarships
Scholarships will be given for anyone in financial need, on a sliding scale based on your annual household income. Below you’ll see our sliding scale for reference. On your scholarship application you can let us know which bracket you fall within and any other details that might be helpful to let us know about your current financial need. We understand that there may be circumstances outside of your control that may be a factor outside of your annual household income - simply make note of that on your application. Please note that all attendees are required to pay a minimum of $200. To apply for a scholarship you can head here.
