Without the scholarship, I would never have been able to attend a conference that truly goes above and beyond just teaching the skills needed for speaking and writing. You go away from this conference knowing you have been on Holy Ground and have a new set of professionals and friends that are truly there to help you become successful in serving our Lord.

Without the scholarship, I wouldn’t have received the blessings that I gained at Speak Up last summer.  God is using me in a speaking capacity even with stage 4 cancer. This conference helped solidify in my heart that God still has a ministry for me and that doctors can’t put an expiration date on my ministry/life when God is in charge.

I am grateful to have been a scholarship recipient. Not only did I receive excellent and helpful information from the workshops, but met so many talented individuals I was able to stay in contact with after the conference. The Speak up conference is such a great way to connect to your tribe as a writer and/or speaker!

The heart of discipleship is evident in the planning, conversations, and community at SpeakUp. I was forever changed, and am grateful for the scholarship! I look forward to returning and being able to provide a scholarship for someone else someday soon!

My life has been changed by being able to attend thanks to the help of the scholarship. God has given me greater confidence in what He has put in me to share with others and I was able to gain so much knowledge by attending.  Forever grateful.
