HumaNext Scholarship Program   HumaNext is committed to supporting internal and external trainers, consultants, educators, and leaders by providing them with the latest and most valuable training tools and ideas. Toward this goal, we offer a number of partial and full scholarships to our certification / Train-The-Trainer program (See our "Certification" page for details of this program.) All participants are eligible for the Partial Scholarship in exchange for working to help us spread our message. The full scholarship is usually limited to small non-profit organizations, recent graduates, and new consultants. Both scholarships do not include travel and accommodation expenses. Participants must arrange and pay for these at their own. We do not get involved in any visa processing to visit the USA to attend the sessions and cannot offer any assistance in this matter. The terms of these scholarship programs are as below.

Law For Kids : Bringing Court Drama to the Classroom (Winner of HumaNext’s Full Scholarship Award- May 2006) “If my parents get divorced will I have to visit daddy/mommy every two weeks (whether or not I want to)?” “Will I be able to keep my dog?” “Do I get any choice where I live?” By Dr. André P. Walton, Executive Director, Foundation for Relevant Education About the Law. The purpose of the non-profit Foundation for Relevant Education About the Law (R.E.A.L.) - www.relevantlaw.org - is to break down the barriers between the courts and the public. We provide learning opportunities to students in three ways: by contact with the court system (court tours), our interactive web sites, and through the school curriculum. We have a program currently being designed that will use drama to bring judicial issues into the classroom. It is our goal that students understand and actively participate in the democratic process, and become effective and responsible citizens. One aspect of Project R.E.A.L.’s website is of particular interest. Students often have difficulty gaining access to accurate, impartial legal advice. This is particularly true of ‘at risk’ students. This advice might relate to a drug arrest or some other crime, or it might relate to some other aspect of a divorce or other family issue. Perhaps a child would like to know the answer to such questions as: “If my parents get divorced will I have to visit daddy/mommy every two weeks (whether or not I want to)?” “Will I be able to keep my dog?” “Do I get any choice where I live?” Such questions may not be answered accurately by a parent, and the child may not want to approach a school counselor or other individual that the child may not perceive as impartial. LawForKids.org, of which Project R.E.A.L. is the Nevada licensee, offers kids the opportunity to get their questions answered (in a generic, rather than one-on-one fashion) by a qualified lawyer. Training is an important part of our mission, and is critical to our success. Being able to effectively communicate to sponsors and the legal community is also critical to the achievement of our goals. I believe the skills acquired during your 3-in-1 training program will help us achieve this.

For Every Child, a Place to Play Winner of a Full Scholarship Award for 3-in-1 Certification (October 2005)   In 1994, I saw a little girl sitting in a wheelchair on the fringe of a park, her fingers tightly gripping the spokes of her wheelchair as she longingly observed other children at play, and something tugged at me. I understood that for this little girl, playing at a playground could only be a wish, a dream, and a frustration as she was excluded from one of the fundamental joys of childhood. I felt compelled to do something to address this injustice. Shortly after that observation at the park, my  five-month-old son died. In his memory, with the assistance of 1,200 volunteers, I built a playground, Jonathan's Dream, that was barrier-free and where all children could play. An article about the playground in Time magazine generated hundreds of inquiries. In response to this outpouring of calls for assistance, I, along with play environment designer Jean Schappet, formed Boundless Playgrounds in 1997. To date, 76 playgrounds are open in 20 states and one in Canada. As the first national nonprofit organization dedicated to opening the world of play to children of all abilities, Boundless Playgrounds will not stop until every child everywhere has the opportunity to play. I believe that if children with disabilities are excluded from playgrounds, both children with and without disabilities will suffer from the lack of opportunity to interact and learn to get along with others. This kind of exclusion leads to isolation and intolerance. In the future, children will become parents, teachers and leaders. They will shape our world. By growing up learning to accept those with differences, the world will be a more peaceful and accepting place. When children of all abilities are given the opportunity to play--true play that is independent and self-directed--they play with a purpose. Through play children achieve one of the most basic rights of being a person, the right to make choices. During play children make choices that help them gather information through physical and sensory experiences and by watching other children at play. Boundless Playgrounds' fully integrated playgrounds are designed to remove the barriers that limit children's explorations and support their need for independent self-directed play. I strive to assure that no child, regardless of ability or disability, is ever left out of the magic of play. The organization's mission and vision--For every child, a place to play: Every child! Every ability! Everywhere!--is the impetus for this nonprofit to continue to help communities create barrier-free playgrounds where all children are welcome.   Thank you for considering our small nonprofit with me as the representative for a full scholarship (to the 3-in-1 Certification Program.)
