Help provide access to biodynamic education

Many people are seeking a world where agriculture serves as the foundation of our communities, is spiritually grounded, and actively cultivates the health, well-being, and development of our Earth and all her inhabitants.

Biodynamic education provides the crucial tools needed for people across the US—and beyond—to understand and implement the principles and practices that can bring about this vision. 

Your support helps make these opportunities accessible to all who are interested, enabling them to take what they've learned onto their land and into their communities, sharing with others and broadening the impact of biodynamics. The Biodynamic Scholarship Fund allows recipients to choose the opportunities that best meet their needs.

Our deep gratitude for your commitment to making biodynamic education as accessible as possible!

You can also donate by mailing a check made out to the Biodynamic Association at 418 Broadway #8710, Albany, NY 12207. Please add a note that it is for the Scholarship Fund.

How to apply

Scholarships are available for in-person and online education offered by the Biodynamic Association, the Biodynamic Foundations Training, and courses offered through other biodynamic partner organizations or groups across the US.

We strive to strike a balance between supporting as many individuals as possible and offering individuals ample financial awards so that people receive the most benefit from the educational opportunities they wish to pursue. Scholarships are available for eligible U.S. educational opportunities and typically are awarded toward fees or tuition.

Scholarship awards are determined on a sliding scale. In most cases, scholarship recipients are asked to cover a portion of the cost of their chosen educational opportunity with their own funds. 

To apply for non-conference scholarships, please first log in or create a free website account. For help, please see our Website Access FAQs or reach out to us at scholarships@biodynamics.com.

"I am incredibly grateful to have gotten to attend the Biodynamic Conference with a scholarship. I am an aspiring farm-owner and the conference reminded me of the beauty and impact of biodynamic farming. The conference was a life-changing experience because I am now connected to other biodynamic farmers whom I admire and can continue to learn from in years to come. I definitely plan on attending future conferences and exploring biodynamic farming."

"I am thankful to the scholarship fund as it allowed me to expand my horizons and education. As a participant I was able to attend high quality lectures, talks and informational sessions that allowed me to grow educationally and spiritually. The conference expanded my skill set and knowledge base and gave me a great starting point to explore and learn."

"Attending the biodynamic conference gave me the opportunity to be in community with others who care deeply about biodynamic agriculture ... I’m grateful for the connections I made with biodynamic winemakers and growers. I feel like I left with a network of community and mentors."

"The greatest thing that I gained from this experience was the opportunity to connect with like-minded and similarly passionate people who care about "enlivening the soil" and honoring the fact that "in nature everything is interconnected" ... I look forward to maintaining the relationships and continued opportunities to learn, collaborate and connect with the many wonderful people I am grateful to have met."
