For Women in Need

In honor of Rose Caron, who attended the first Green Mountain program in 1973 and became a frequent participant and advisor to the program, the Rose Caron Scholarship assists women in need of financial aid who wish to improve the quality of their lives through serious lifestyle change. A limited number of scholarships will be provided each year to help deserving woman attend Green Mountain at Fox Run.

In accordance with the program’s guidelines, these are partial scholarships*, with funds made available based on qualifications – which is a combination of your history (herstory), goals and the level of readiness to tackle your issues that is apparent in your information, as well as financial concerns. Rose felt strongly that a key element for the success experienced by the women who come to Green Mountain was that they were willing to make an investment in themselves, which attached a real “value” to the experience. Women willing to invest in themselves on every level (emotional, time away from home as well as some financial commitment) are the women that we would like to offer help to.

Your application will be reviewed by a board consisting of staff and past participants. Scholarship funds will be provided solely at our discretion.  Applications are typically reviewed in October for visits November through April.
