New York Society for Ethical Culture Felix Adler Scholarship

Felix Adler, the founder of the Ethical Culture Movement, established an endowment specifically for the training of Ethical Culture Leaders.  Since the 1980's Ethical Culture Societies across the US have relied upon The Humanist Institute to train our Leaders.  The New York Society for Ethical Culture, which administers the Adler Endowment, is now making funds available up to $9,500 per class for Ethical Culture members to attend The Humanist Institute's 3 year training program.
