The North American Interfaith Network (NAIN) offers a unique opportunity to include younger representatives (ages 18-35) in a valuable interfaith encounter during NAIN Connect 2009 in Kansas City, Missouri. This scholarship recognizes young adults across the continent who are actively engaged in important work within the interfaith community.
If you are passionate about interfaith work, we welcome your energy and enthusiasm and encourage you to apply! You do not need to be part of a NAIN member organization to apply. Recipients are selected by the NAIN Young Adult Committee, according to the directives of the NAIN Board of Directors. Scholarship awards will provide US$300 towards the cost of attending the conference.
Applicants are encouraged to submit a proposal for a presentation at the conference with your scholarship application. While this is not required to receive a scholarship, it will strengthen your application. You also may be asked to speak on a panel with other young adult scholarship recipients.
In addition, NAIN also offers the Gian Tej Scholarship, created by Teja Singh of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, in honor of his parents, to encourage attendance by a Sikh young adult at the NAIN conferences each year. (Application form is the same - applicants should indicate on the form that they are applying for the Gian Tej Scholarship).
