Please write a brief description for why you are requesting this bursary

Please include any details that will be helpful for the team to consider. OCCA is a charity and raises most of its funds through generous donations, including some specific donations for bursaries. It could be helpful to include here your motivation for attending or enrolling, how it will help your personal faith, your local church, your ministry and service to others, details about financial need, etc.

Testimony or appeal link

An optional space for you to enter a URL or link to a relevant website or media (documents, photos, videos, audio). This could, for example, be a personal testimony or appeal video you have done for fundraising, a newsletter explaining your ministry updates, an example of you giving a talk, etc.

Have you already or are you planning to raise additional funds?

Yes
No; I will be funding the costs myself

e.g. Your local church is supporting your attendance

Details of other fundraising or support

It could be helpful for us to know if, for example, your local church, missions group, ministry, or sending organisation has committed to partnering with you.

Do you have any other comments, notes, or questions for the team to consider?

Declaration

I understand that bursary requests are considered on a case-by-case basis and assessed according to need, availability of bursary funds, support from other ministries, and other factors. I understand that a bursary may not be awarded and that I will be responsible for paying the full costs of my course or event. I also understand that I am responsible for any additional costs, such as travel, visas, accommodation, and meals for in-person events and courses.
