Scholarships

Omega believes that the benefits of a holistic education should be available to everyone. We strive to bring many voices, perspectives, backgrounds, identities, and life experiences to Omega.

Our Commitment

Our Commitment

The Omega Scholarship Program is one of the ways we demonstrate our commitment to building a holistic learning community, reducing barriers, and expanding access to the educational opportunities we offer.

Scholarship availability varies based on funding and program capacity. Our general scholarship pool is open to all, and we award scholarships as funds are available. Because funding is limited, these scholarships often fill quickly.

Some scholarship funds are designated by donors, grants, or faculty for specific communities or areas of focus. In past years, this has included veterans, women leaders, first responders, educators, students, climate advocates, artists, and initiatives designed to broaden participation for communities historically underrepresented in wellness and educational spaces. These scholarships are one tool, among many, to interrupt patterns that have limited who gets to be in the room.

This page reflects current scholarship availability. As scholarships are allocated or programs conclude, related listings are removed.

If you would like to help expand access, you may contribute to our Scholarship Fund. Your support directly increases the number of community-supported seats we are able to offer each year.

No Application Required

A limited number of 'first-come, first-served' scholarships are available for the following programs with no application necessary. You may request a scholarship when you call to register. To learn more, click on a workshop below.
