scholarships and/or grants (was Re: [TheForge] Speaking of age...)

[terry l. ridder]

hello;

what is involved in setting up a scholarship and/or grant fund to
provide financial assistance to disabled/handicapped/physically
challenged people and/or people who just do not have the financial
resources but would benefit from attending a class or course work?

while the 10+yr legal nightmare still grids on it is reaching a
conclusion. the judge's recent ruling, dec 2006, again gives us what we
were asking for, and again the opposing side is appealling. this appeal
will take roughly 18 months. figure june/july 2008 timeframe. i would
like to provide a scholarship and/or grant fund to primarily help the
physically challenged and economical challenged that would benefit from
attending classes at say the john campbell folk school, the midwest
horseshoeing school in macomb, illinois.

i want to help others who like myself find themselves in situations
which wear on the mind and soul and need some relief from the toils
and drudgery of daily life.

if i can help just one person learn tinsmithing that provides a needed
respite from their circumstances i will have accomplished my desire.
