The primary goals of our scholarship program are to enable people to certify as Enneagram teachers and/or practitioners and take the Enneagram to new and diverse audiences in their home communities. Our Scholarship Committee strives to identify a capable, diverse, motivated range of students who would could not certify without financial support.
