Episcopal Church Women of the Diocese of Kansas

Continuing Education grants

The diocesan ECW makes money available for small grants to help women with costs associated with continuing education. All women of the diocese are eligible to apply for a grant.

Grant guidelines are:

Recipients must be women who are members of a parish in the Diocese of Kansas.
Requests for grants must be submitted in writing to the chairperson of the Continuing Education Committee. The letter should include a description of the event including the effective dates, its total cost, the sponsoring agency and the name of the parish to which the woman belongs.
Requests should be made well in advance of the event. There will be no funding of expenses already incurred.
Funding is for adult women to continue their education experiences. Returning to college, community workshops, seminar and convocation educational events, and Education for Ministry are examples of approved activities.
The committee will consider up to two-thirds funding for an individual for any one event, with a $100 limit. Only one grant per year will be given to an applicant. Any one individual will be limited to receiving a maximum of $300 during any five-year period.
Flexibility will be maintained by the committee granting funds.

Send your written request for a grant to:
