ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The Woodhull Freedom Foundation today announced a scholarship for bloggers attending the 2016 Sexual Freedom Summit.
Held Aug. 4-7 at the Hilton Mark Center in Alexandria, Va., the Summit is the one conference focused on sexual freedom as a fundamental human right in the U.S.
Thanks to a generous grant from the Freeman Foundation, bloggers attending the Summit may apply to receive one of 10 $100 scholarships. Along with the scholarship, those selected will also receive a discount on the cost of registration.
Bloggers will be selected based on criteria including readership traffic and social media followership, with special consideration given to those who represent marginalized identities and communities.
“We are so grateful to the Freeman Foundation for having the foresight to recognize the vital role bloggers and influencers — our social justice warriors — play in the movement for positive change in our world,” said Ricci Levy, president and CEO of The Woodhull Freedom Foundation. “Thanks to our online gurus, our voices are magnified hundreds, thousands, and then millions of times, as we share our stories and our visions for a better world.”
The deadline for applications for the Blogger Scholarship is May 1, 2016. Selected candidates will be notified via email on or before June 1, 2016.
Woodhull’s Sexual Freedom Summit offers single-day and weekend-only registrations in addition to registration to the complete 4-day Summit. Discounts are also offered to students, seniors, and those seeking AASECT Continuing Education Credits.
