Hermit Tarot Scholarship Fund

On Sept. 14, 2022 Melanie France passed away. She was an amazing tarot reader and teacher. Through her presence on social media, she gained a loyal following of people who wanted to learn to read the tarot and in the process created a community of kind, caring souls. Melanie was a true teacher and was accepting of all people. She brought a sense of humor and compassion to all who had the privilege to collaborate with her. This scholarship will honor her memory. I would like the funds to go to a student who has a passion for reading tarot cards. This is an unusual hobby that probably never gets recognized as a skill worthy of a scholarship. The cards are hundreds of years old and have a rich history first as a game and then as a form of divination. Today the cards are used for enlightenment, engagement and therapeutic purposes. This scholarship will be for the student who might not have an athletic background or a high grade point average, but has an interest in the metaphysical arts.
