Scholarships

Through the generosity of many, several attendees were able to fully participate in the Gathering. Our sincere gratitude is extended for contributions donated to our general scholarship fund and for the acts of kindness shown.

Numerous funeral homes in Ohio and across the country supported Gathering attendees by establishing scholarships within their own community. Without their financial support many would not have had the opportunity to experience the World.
