Hey-- I think the mini-scholarships are a great idea. What do the others think? Perhaps this could be a separate award for families who could be "nominated" by their consultants.
We have been at a standstill with the scholarships as we wait for verification from Linda as to the amount we can award. Heidi Hofer has graciously volunteered her time to help coordinate the applications for the scholarships.
Thanks, Bev, for your input. Anyone who has any more input or suggestions, please share. Take care, Jen

Subject: [rdischolarship] Re: Setting a deadline for applications for this year
I've been thinking more about the Scholarship Fund, lately, due to hearing about families who
are concerned about being able to afford the RDIos.. I am not sure I have any great ideas for
funding for those families... but I wondered whether the Scholarship Fund could start by just
awarding 3-month scholarships ($75 US each) to those families who are already working w/ a
consultant but who just can't afford an extra $25/month for the Lite version of the RDIos?
(On the thread about "is this worth $50?" on the RDIos parents forum, I have provided the
info to the Scholarship Fund .. but wasn't really sure when scholarships would be awarded or
anything and it would be nice to be able to let people know what is happening there .. maybe
we should provide an update in the newsletter??
