To request a scholarship, please email your request to Sweta Haldar, shaldar@character.org. Please indicate your specific needs and the reasons you want to attend.
Request Funding Support
Past attendees have found community organizations such as the PTA, Rotary Club or a local business willing to sponsor their attendance at the Forum. Instilling good and sound character in the youth should be the goal of the entire community. Many businesses have social responsibility funds that they may be willing to use to cover your conference fees. A nice letter explaining the benefits for your school and community is usually what is needed.
Deduct your Expenses
Remember that according to Treasury Regulation 1.625-5, expenses for continuing education taken to maintain or improve professional skills are tax-deductible (including registration fees, travel, meals and lodging).
