An Unholy Harvest Scholarship Program

In an effort to make sure that An Unholy Harvest is accessible to people from a range of economic circumstances, we established a scholarship program in 2008. A minimum of four individuals will be awarded a scholarship, which covers the full registration cost for An Unholy Harvest.

How do I apply?

Scholarship applications are closed for 2011. All scholarships have been awarded. Travel fund applications remain open until all funds are awarded. Check out our travel fund page for details.

What will my scholarship cover?

At this stage, scholarships only cover the cost of conference registration. All other costs such as travel, hotel and food must be assumed by the attendee. We encourage scholarship recipients (like other attendees) to try to arrange for ride-shares, community housing or room-shares via the Unholy Harvest yahoo group, which all conference attendees will be invited to join upon their registration.

New in 2011: we have started a travel fund to help folks outside of the Montreal-Ottawa-Toronto corridor come to Harvest. Click here for more information!

When will I know if get a scholarship?

Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until all scholarships have been awarded. We are not responsible for lost applications. We will inform applicants of their status within one week of receiving their application.

Who will know I got a scholarship?

Only the two conference organizers, Jacqueline St-Urbain and Andrea Zanin, will know about your application. In every other respect, you will be registered and participate as any other conference attendee. Your application information and status will not be disclosed.

How can I help the scholarship program?

If donors wish to cover other expenses for scholarship recipients, such as travel, hotel, or a food stipend, we welcome those contributions. You can make a donation through PayPal when registering to attend Harvest and earmark it for the scholarship fund, or e-mail us at unholyharvest@yahoo.ca to inquire about other ways to donate.
