Testimonials from the Scholarship Fund

As shown in the testimonials our fund helps our community members not only at the beginning of their career, but also to deal with illness and high cost of traveling. Please help us to keep the community together regardless of health, age and location.

I know words are still not doing it justice, but I hope this gives each and everyone one of you a sense of how much gratitude and joy I feel for having known you and our time at Asilomar.

Alex Levine

The generosity of the committee created the opening for me to be able to attend and I received many rich benefits from the experience.

Lorraine Stidd

This very sense of Community is something which I took with me to Poland. Thank you! Without all of you, as a Scholarship recipient, probably I would not decide to participate in the Conference.

Daniel Bak

I was delighted to see my old AAGT friends, to make new friends and connections, and to be able to contribute by presenting my 2 hour workshop; wonderful to share with my colleagues on something I feel passionate about.

Nickei Falconer

I just want to let you know that it was really great to be at Asilomar , in a big way because of my scholarship because other way it was impossible for me, so THANK YOU very very much.

Abril Canterall

A heart problem diagnosed in 2011 prevented me from travelling to Puebla and led to my withdrawal from a teaching commitment in St Petersburg whilst waiting for surgery. By 2014 I had recovered sufficiently to start seeing clients, facilitate some training and supervise. […] Much as I had wanted to attend my sixth AAGT conference at Asilomar I felt unable to find the airfare. […] It felt so confirming and supportive to receive help from the scholarship fund: without it my trip to Asilomar would not have been achievable.

Radical Respect: Contemporary Gestalt Therapy in Troubled Times

AAGT is very proud of its tradition of helping persons who need financial assistance to participate in AAGT events: biennial, regional and research conferences, and the Annual General Meeting (AGM). Through the use of the Scholarship Fund we have, over the years, enabled many persons from many countries to join us to the immeasurable enrichment of both recipients and the organization.

The criteria which the scholarship committee will consider include the following: financial need, ethnic diversity, geographic diversity, student status, new practitioner status, potential conference presenter, as well as unique circumstances. We also consider your specific expenses based on travel distance, etc. After giving us the demographic information requested, please write in 150 words or less your interest in attending, your connection to gestalt therapy and in what ways you reflect our eligibility criteria.

Confidentiality: please note that your name will be known only to the AAGT Scholarship Fund committee and one person from the conference organizing committee.

The AAGT Scholarship Fund is primarily derived from voluntary contributions. The committee has a limited resources and must budget. It may not be able to meet the demand.
