Scholarships

Training Scholarships

Scholarships provide full training fee support for individuals with the expectation that the recipient will commit to volunteering for one year as a mediator after becoming certified.
​We offer the following scholarships:
Dorothy Hiroko Sato Memorial Scholarship
The purpose of the Dorothy Hiroko Sato Brooks Memorial Scholarship is to support those wishing to attend the 40-Hour Professional Mediation Training when the training tuition is a significant barrier for them.  
​If you have questions please contact Logan Porter. (360) 956-1155 EXT. 120

Bruce Bergquist Youth Scholarship
Bruce Bergquist was one of the founders of the DRC and served as Assistant Director until 1998.  The purpose of this scholarship is to support youth who want to become part of the DRC mediator team by providing training tuition assistance.  Teen mediators are needed for Family cases involving a conflict between parent(s) and teen children, and are paired with adult mediators for these cases. 
 
Criteria:  The 40-Hour Professional Mediation Training fee is cut in half for teens ages 14-19.  Scholarship recipients’ families will be asked to pay whatever they can toward the training fee.  Scholarship funds will be used to pay the remainder.  There is no application process—simply call the DRC for eligibility assessment.
 
For scholarship eligibility criteria and general questions, call  (360) 956-1155 EXT. 120
Honorable Judge Paula Casey Scholarship
Retired Judge Casey served as a formative judge and presiding judge of the Thurston Family and Juvenile Court and as a long-time advocate and volunteer with the DRC. The purpose of this is to support advanced family training for 40-Hour Professional Mediation Training Graduates currently in the Practicum who find the training tuition a financial barrier for them.

​If you are interested in applying, please call  (360) 956-1155 EXT. 120 for more information.
