The Sagittarius Scholarship Award

The etymological meaning of the word Sagittarius is wisdom. Fitting for a sign with the energy to search for the truth and spread knowledge to others, don’t you agree? Since this is also the sign my Moon is in I’ve always had a strong personal urge to teach what I know to as many people as I possibly can in this lifetime.

To that end, I’m proud to announce The Sagittarius Scholarship Award. This award will allow one student who demonstrates financial need as well as a passion to learn astrology, to attend my series of astrology teleconference classes for FREE. I will continue to offer a scholarship to one student each time I’m ready to open registration for a new beginner’s class. The application deadline for the first scholarship award, to be offered for my Spring 2012 beginner’s class, is March 1^st, 2012. I will announce the first winner by April 1^st, 2012.

Criteria for Applicants:

In the body of an email (no attachments) sent to Astrologybymaria@aol.com, with the subject line – Sagittarius Scholarship Award Application – please submit one or two paragraphs sharing the details of your financial hardship. Then, in a one-two page essay, tell me about your passion for astrology.  What do you hope to gain from learning astrology? How will you plan to use astrology once you learn it?

At the top of the essay please include a heading with your full name and date, time and location of birth as well as an email address and phone number to contact you.

Selection Criteria:

I, Maria DeSimone, will be the sole person responsible for reading each applicant’s essay and looking at their birth chart. You agree, by applying, that I have the right to post your name and essay on my website or to otherwise share it publicly in an effort to further promote this Scholarship.  I will choose the winner based on financial need in combination with the quality of the written essay. Once I have selected the winner, I’ll post his or her name on my website and in my newsletter.

The winner of this Scholarship Award will have an opportunity to take each of the five core classes I teach through www.InsightfulAstrology.com  via my teleconference curriculum for free provided they enroll in the classes consecutively.  These classes are: Beginner’s Astrology, Aspects in Astrology, Transits, Progressions and Relationship Astrology. The scholarship will cover the cost of tuition however; students will be responsible for the purchase of all books.  This Scholarship Award is valued at approximately $1,000 and is only redeemable for up to five astrology classes with me personally.
