Dance Leader
Training
Grant Program
Overview
Our Dance Leader Training (DLT) program
provides financial assistance to qualified
leaders of the Dances of Universal Peace to pay
for training in dance leading, and for travel
and lodging to attend training events.
Here's how the program works. Leaders of the Dances of Universal Peace
(DUP) who
are mentored, supervised and/or certified dance
leaders and who are on the Mentor Teachers Guild
(MTG) referral list are eligible to apply.
Applicants must also be paid-up members of the
International Network for the Dances of
Universal Peace (INDUP) and/or the Sufi Ruhaniat
International.
Oneness Project determines which DUP training
events are eligible for grants based on several
criteria, including staff qualifications and the
content of the training event. Once we certify
that the training event is eligible for funding,
the training organizer publicizes that attendees
may apply to Oneness Project for support.
Attendees may then apply to Oneness Project
using the above DLT Application any time up
until 6 weeks prior to the start of the training
event. Generally, the amount of the grant will be limited to 50% of the total
tuition, lodging and travel costs for attending
the event, and will not exceed $500 total.
Only individuals who have been registered with
the MTG as mentored or supervised for at least
two (2) years may apply for grants to support
intercontinental travel. Other policies
describing eligibility and the application
process are described in the full
guidelines.
The DLT administrator will email applicants a
confirmation that their application has been
received and an estimated date that you will be
informed whether you will receive a DLT grant
award. The official notification of award will generally be sent
within a week to 10 days following the closing
deadline (six weeks prior to the event). All grantees must file a final report
with Oneness Project within one month following
the conclusion of the event documenting their
experience of the training. Future funding is
dependent upon receiving timely reports. If you're ready to apply, or want more
information go on to the full
2008 DLT Guidelines and
Application Form.
We remind mentors and training organizers planning a
training event in 2008 to submit a 2008 DLT
Event Eligibility Application to DLT administrator
Nuria Lee (nuria@onenessproject.com)
by January 6, 2008 and complete
other requirements in order for their training
to quality for funding from this program in 2008.
The Event Eligibility Application enables
Oneness Project to begin the process of
certifying the event's eligibility for funding
and also to budget adequate funds for the year.
