Scholarships

Because In The Company of Women has limited money for scholarships, the most aid we can offer is one-half (1/2) of the camp fee. We often grant less in order to help as many campers as are in need.

Each recipient of scholarship funds will be assigned to a task during our conference week. This task will require a brief period of time and energy and shouldn’t interfere with your ability to participate fully in programming. Examples: helping to set up chairs for the Thursday Night Coffee House, assisting with Auction set up, passing out programs at daily chapel services, etc.

To supplement your scholarship funds, we suggest that you also apply for aid elsewhere. Many community groups and churches will give financial assistance to summer campers. In particular, many Unitarian Universalist churches have helped those coming to conferences at Ferry Beach, whether you are a member of the church or not.

Decisions for scholarships are made on a case-by-case basis, depending on the requests and the available funds.

Applications for scholarships may be made between January 1st and February 28th of each year for the coming summer. Decisions will be announced by March 31st. Funds are paid directly to Ferry Beach Camp & Conference Center.

To request an application, please send an email to: itcw.lbrown@hotmail.com or phone the Ferry Beach office 207-282-4489.
