Applications are reviewed by a committee of certified Enneagram professionals, and you will receive an email with whether you have received a scholarship and the amount awarded approximately two weeks after the scholarship round closes.

If you paid for the tuition for a course and was awarded a scholarship we will refund the amount of the scholarship received.

If you paid for the tuition for a course and applied for a scholarship and did not receive a scholarship, you can ask for your money to be refunded.

No, you may not apply for a scholarship to cover tuition for a previous class.

We award scholarships to cover tuition costs for Foundational and Professional Training & Certification programs.

The recommendation form should be completed by an Enneagram teacher or practitioner. If you are unable to get an Enneagram-specific recommendation, we will accept a general character reference that will help the committee make their decision. Recommendations for the Typing Process, Teacher Training, Practitioner Training classes or the Internship must come from a Narrative Enneagram Core Faculty teacher.

For returning applicants: A letter of recommendation from TNE faculty is required to be considered for additional scholarship awards. When reapplying for a scholarship, please send the recommendation form link to the TNE faculty member recommending you.
