Why Sunny Created This Program

Because She Was Once in Need

At one point in my life, I was the one in need. As a single mom on welfare, I had no resources, no financial help, and no way to afford classes, experiences, and the healing work I longed for.
Scholarships weren’t available – I just had to put my head down, work hard, and figure it out myself. And I did.

I vowed that if I was ever in a position to help others who were like me – motivated to change but in a tough situation – I would.

That is why I created Sunny’s Offering of Love (SOL) Scholarship. Because I never want financial limitations to prevent someone from growing, healing, and stepping into their purpose.

I want to be the person I once needed – offering a hand to those who are ready to take a step toward their own transformation.

How It Works

Four Steps to Receiving Support

The only requirement is that you ask for what you truly need.

01

Find a Program

Browse classes, workshops, and events at the School of Light that call to you.

02

Apply

Fill out the short scholarship application. Tell us about yourself and what you need.

03

Receive

Scholarships are partial, covering a percentage of the fee. We review applications and respond with your award.

04

Transform

Show up, do the work, and step into the growth you’ve been longing for. That’s all we ask.

Scholarships are available for most School of Light classes, events, and workshops.

Important Details

What You Should Know

Self-Funded from Day One

From the beginning, Sunny personally funded every scholarship – no outside donations, no reimbursement. In 2020, she began accepting contributions to expand the number of scholarships available.

Partial Scholarships

Scholarships cover a percentage of the program fee – not the full amount – so we can help as many people as possible. We ask only that you request what you truly need.

Open to Everyone

Whether you’re a new student or a longtime community member, if financial hardship is standing between you and the growth you’re ready for – you’re eligible to apply.

Quick Turnaround

We know that when you’re ready to grow, waiting is hard. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and you’ll hear back as quickly as possible.

Are You Ready to Ask?

One of the hardest things to do is ask for help. The second hardest? Receiving it.
If you feel called to grow but financial hardship is holding you back, this is your invitation to take a leap of faith – to believe in yourself enough to ask.
You are worthy. You are deserving. And you are not alone.

– Pay It Forward

Help Someone Else Receive This Gift

If you’ve been touched by this program – or if you simply want to be part of making transformation accessible to someone who can’t afford it on their own – you can sponsor a scholarship.

Your donation goes directly toward covering partial tuition for a student who has the courage to ask. Every contribution, large or small, creates real change in someone’s life.

More Than Financial Aid – It’s a Belief in You

The SOL Scholarship is a belief in the power of transformation. If you’re ready to receive, take the first step. If you’re ready to give, your generosity can change someone’s life.

With love and belief in you,
