SCHOLARSHIPS
We work hard to make sure that financial barriers are reduced or in some cases eliminated to participating in Enhancing Skills for Life events. We are grateful for the many people that help make our scholarship program possible, opening doors to people from around the world to come together and create life-long connections.
Supporting Shared Experiences
There’s something powerful about spending time with others who just get it—who navigate the world without both hands or all four limbs, and who understand the daily workarounds, the triumphs, and the tough days. Whether you’re swapping stories, learning new tricks, or simply laughing together, these moments matter.
​
Scholarships are available to help offset travel and lodging for in-person events that bring people together to build skills, confidence, and community. These include events that Enhancing Skills for Life hosts. If it brings people face-to-face and builds real connections, we want to help make it possible.
​
Scholarships are granted at the discretion of the ESFL Scholarship Committee.​
Samoana Matagi
I have been fortunate enough to receive funds to attend Skills for Life workshops since 2011. Because of my attendance, I have met with people who taught me techniques that gave me the confidence to recover faster from a life-changing injury than I ever could on my own. Since Skills for Life, I'm not just surviving my accident, I'm thriving.
