Support the Fifth Element Scholarship Fund

At Fifth Element, we believe that financial barriers should not limit access to strategic clarity, somatic resilience, and liberation-centered business design. Our scholarship offerings are not charity. They are a form of relational stewardship—an invitation into mutuality, not extraction.
 

We offer a limited number of partial scholarships for select programs, designed to support individuals and organizations who are deeply aligned with our values but navigating financial constraint.

Who Scholarships Are For

Scholarships are prioritized for:

• Black, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, and systemically marginalized leaders  

• First-time founders building equity-centered offerings  

• Individuals navigating economic transition, disability, or chronic illness  

• Those actively engaged in community care, mutual aid, or movement work 

• People who are values-aligned but currently under-resourced
   

We do not require proof of hardship. We trust your self-assessment and ask that you apply only if paying full price would create harm or compromise your sustainability.

What’s Offered

• Scholarships typically cover 25–50% of a learning program cost  

• Full scholarships are rare and reserved for specific community partnerships 

• Scholarships do not include memberships unless explicitly stated 

​

What We Ask in Return

We don’t ask for testimonials, social shares, or emotional labor.  
We do ask that you:

• Engage fully with the material  

• Honor the container and your own capacity  

• Pay it forward when you’re resourced to do so

​

Sustainability Note

Scholarships are made possible by:

• Full-paying clients who believe in redistributive access  

• Our commitment to building a regenerative, not extractive, business model  

• The understanding that liberation is collective, not individual
