The mission of The Michael Foundation is to foster, to promote and to support the advancement of quality Waldorf Education in North America, including Canada, Mexico, and the USA.
The foundation awards grants to AWSNA approved training centers, programs, and individuals that align with the goal of providing young people with the tools to develop into free, moral, and integrated individuals, supporting each child's unique destiny. Grants typically range from $2,000 to $6,000, with occasional grants up to $10,000, funded through the generosity of The Hon. and Mrs. L. Barron Hill.
Our primary focus is on awarding scholarships to competent and deserving candidates who are pursuing Waldorf teacher education, with the intention of teaching at Waldorf schools that are acknowledged by AWSNA/WECAN as independent or private institutions.
