Share the promise of biodynamics
by contributing to the Biodynamic Scholarship Fund
Access to biodynamic education is more important than ever
Many people are seeking a world where agriculture serves as the foundation of our communities, is spiritually grounded, and actively cultivates the health, well-being, and development of our Earth and all her inhabitants.
Biodynamic education provides the crucial tools needed for people across the US—and beyond—to understand and implement the principles and practices that can bring about this vision.
Your support helps make these opportunities accessible to all who are interested, enabling them to take what they've learned onto their land and into their communities, sharing with others and broadening the impact of biodynamics.
Can you help to meet the tremendous demand that comes toward us every day for access to inspiring and practical solutions to the issues facing our world? With your support, scholarship recipients can access the education that best meets their needs.
This support will enable:
- 200 attendees with scholarships to the Online Biodynamic Conference this November,
- 15 participants in the year-long Biodynamic Foundations Training,
- 60 participants in other BDA-hosted events, like online courses or in-person intensives, and
- 20 participants in courses offered through other biodynamic partner organizations or groups across the US.
Our deep gratitude for your commitment to making biodynamic education as accessible as possible!
You can also donate by mailing a check made out to the "Biodynamic Demeter Alliance" at 317 Church Street, Phoenixville, PA 19460.

Biran Heddon
I am incredibly grateful to have gotten to attend the Biodynamic Conference with a scholarship. I am an aspiring farm-owner and the conference reminded me of the beauty and impact of biodynamic farming. The conference was a life-changing experience because I am now connected to other biodynamic farmers whom I admire and can continue to learn from in years to come. I definitely plan on attending future conferences and exploring biodynamic farming.

I am thankful to the scholarship fund as it allowed me to expand my horizons and education. As a participant I was able to attend high quality lectures, talks and informational sessions that allowed me to grow educationally and spiritually. The conference expanded my skill set and knowledge base and gave me a great starting point to explore and learn.

Attending the biodynamic conference gave me the opportunity to be in community with others who care deeply about biodynamic agriculture ... I’m grateful for the connections I made with biodynamic winemakers and growers. I feel like I left with a network of community and mentors.
Benoit Azagoh-Kouadio
The greatest thing that I gained from this experience was the opportunity to connect with like-minded and similarly passionate people who care about "enlivening the soil" and honoring the fact that "in nature everything is interconnected" ... I look forward to maintaining the relationships and continued opportunities to learn, collaborate and connect with the many wonderful people I am grateful to have met.
About the Biodynamic Scholarship Fund
Generous support from donors enables individuals to choose the education that best fits their needs, including:
- Registration for the Online Biodynamic Conference and other educational events we organize
- Participation in the Biodynamic Foundations Training program
- Participation in biodynamic workshops or coursework offered through other organizations and groups across the US, both in person and online
We strive to strike a balance between supporting as many individuals as possible and offering individuals ample financial awards so that people receive the most benefit from the educational opportunities they wish to pursue. Typically, scholarships are awarded toward fees or tuition for eligible educational opportunities.
Scholarship awards are determined on a sliding scale. In most cases, scholarship recipients are asked to cover a portion of the cost of their chosen educational opportunity with their own funds.
