Kintsugi Residency Scholarship

Apply for help to reach Japan.

The 7-day Kyoto residency is the heart of the Kintsugi Path — but the cost of travel is out of reach for some companions. If you are called to this work and the trip is beyond your means, tell us your story. The Kintsugi Residency Scholarship exists to help a companion take their place in Japan.

Applications are reviewed by the Everlight team. Submitting does not guarantee support. We treat your story with confidentiality and care.
