The heart of The Scholarship
Over the years, I’ve have received many scholarships and bursaries. More than the money, what touched me was the gift of knowing that I’m not alone. The scholarships made me feel that 1) somebody believes in me enough to give me a chance and 2) God must be looking out for me. The scholarships gave me hope and faith when I needed it most.
Hi, I’m Anita Wing Lee, a world traveler, filmmaker and writer who believes that God has put creative gifts in you, and is calling you to help create a more beautiful world.
Why Give Money?
I’ve dreamt of giving money to support and encourage creatives for several years. I know what it feels like to receive a miracle, and I believe that God wants to do a miracle in your life. My prayer is that this gift will bless you and the world 100x over.
Also, everything I have is God’s. My ability to earn, to give, to create, even the fact that I have fingers that type and a mind that thinks — these are gifts from God.
So it’s my sacred duty and my great honour to invest in the dreams God has put in you.
Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
— Matthew 6:33
Creativity is a sacred calling
We must be good stewards of these gifts.
Creativity is not as a means to get rich or famous but a resource bestowed on us to use for good. Our earth needs healings and our fellow humans needs help. Let us be the ones to create meaningful solutions.
How It Works
Tell me your dreams and ideas, your visions and projects! Fill out the application form below by Monday April 20, 2020 at 11:59pm EST. The recipients will be announced on Sunday, April 26 on Anita’s Instagram @anitawinglee and notified via email.
The $1000 (CAD) Creative Awakening Scholarship will be split between 1 — 5 recipients.
The final amount awarded to each selected creative will range between $200 — $1000, depending on how many recipients are chosen. Recipients will be selected based on passion, commitment, clarity, vision and need.
There is no age limit or country restrictions. Whether you are age 5 or 105, there is no limit to what you can do (or what God can do through you ;)!
The scholarship will be distributed via PayPal, so you need to have access to a PayPal account. If you don’t have one, Paypal is quite easy to set up and instructions are here.
While no official strings are attached, the intention is that the funds will be used create something positive and life-giving in our world. You can use the money on education, training, equipment, programs or whatever you feel God wants you to use the money for.
This is for you if…
You have something you want to create, something you know this world needs.
Whether you’re just starting your creative journey, or you’ve been creating for three decades, you are welcome to apply!
Whether you’ve known me personally for years, or just found this page through social media, you are welcome to apply! There are no accidents.
Just in case you’re wondering, you do not need to be affiliated with any specific spiritual or religious tradition to apply, or to be chosen. I personally come from a Christian background, so this scholarship is rooted in my faith in God, but all are welcome!
