DONATE TO ONE OF OUR SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS

•    The Deborah Hill Memorial Scholarship Fund for Young People and Minorities was instituted in memory of a long-time Institute Registrar and Co-director, Deborah Hill, who died in 1993.  Debbie was a tireless worker for the Institute, and was particularly interested in encouraging the participation of young people and minorities in the Institute.  Her vision and wish to support young adults interested in social change is more relevant today than ever.  The Board is fully committed to a younger generation of people who in earnest are bringing about positive, meaning social change in the world.  This fund is made possible by the contributions of individual donors.

•    The Naomi Miller Senior Scholarship Fund was instituted in 1995 as the result of a bequest from the estate of Naomi Miller.  Naomi was a very energetic senior participant at the Institute, and a diligent and lively helper in the kitchen. The Board of the Institute wished to honor the memory of Naomi by supporting the attendance of seniors on fixed incomes. This fund is made possible by the contributions of individual donors.

•    The Rudolf Steiner Institute Fund for Waldorf Parents supports the attendance of parents and families from Waldorf schools.

•    The Rudolf Steiner Institute Sponsorship Fund brings individuals to the Institute who are working to bring life-giving initiatives into their impoverished communities.

•    The Rudolf Steiner Institute General Assistance Fund. The Institute Board determines each year the amount of monies available to individuals who do not meet the requirements of the above-mentioned scholarship funds. The majority of these funds are granted in exchange for work done by the applying individuals. Work/Study opportunities include working in the kitchen, bookstore, helping with transportation, assisting staff, etc.

  • FACULTY DEVELOPMENT

Faculty development is an important part of the life of the Institute. The Curriculum Committee is continuously seeking adult educators and individuals who in earnest are actively conducting current, innovative research in their field of expertise.

  • MEMORIAL GIFTS & HONORARIUMS

Memorial gifts are caring and sensitive ways of recognizing those who have passed away, while honorariums are meaningful ways to celebrate life’s notable occasions. A gift to the Institute in memory or honor of a family member or friend will be acknowledged promptly and appropriately. Memorial gifts or honorariums may be made online or by downloading our donation form.
