The Corrine Scholarship Fund

Corrine was a spirited, gifted, and beautifully present elder of the Rites of Passage Council. In August of 2001 Corrine crossed the final threshold into the wilderness of Spirit. Through Corinne’s love of nature and connection with people, she brought comfort and healing to many hearts and spirits. In honor of Corrine we have established a scholarship fund for our programs.

If you would like to make a tax deductible offering for future scholarships please contact Kedar. If you would like to apply for scholarship assistance send us your written request describing your need for a scholarship and how much financial assistance you are requesting.

Please be aware that receiving scholarship assistance is dependent on our having scholarship money available and the order in which we receive your request.
Scholarship Donations: Tax Deductible donations will go directly to participant’s enrollment tuition for future programs. Donations are payable to the Rites of Passage Council, Inc.

“As I find my own way, and am present with others on this journey, I believe, without reservation, in the strength and courage of the human spirit and in our ability for transformation.” —Corrine
