The Yoga Scholarship Fund in memory of Melanie

On Thursday May 28th, 2009, the Board of Directors of ProMindful, Inc., unanimously decided to create a fully endowed Yoga Scholarship Fund in memory of Melanie Weeks Sammarco. The scholarship fund, endowed with $20,000 to start, will enable one qualified student per year to attend the yoga teacher training of his or her choice. The scholarship will pay for one third of the full price of the training. The school will pay for one third, and the student must pay for one third, so ProMindful, The School, and The Student, all share equal 'buy-in' to the training.

ProMindful, Inc., is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization promoting mindfulness, and holistic health and wellness. Donations are fully tax deductible. If you are interested in supporting ProMindful or The new Yoga Scholarship Fund, please send your tax deductible contributions to: ProMindful, Inc., 1177 High Ridge Rd, Suite 111, Stamford, CT 06905. Please feel free to contact me (a Co-Founder) at: (203) 856-5299 if you have any questions. - Alex Nason
