The Michelle Freeman
Scholarship Fund
In June 2025, we lost a colleague, Michelle Freeman. Michelle was a long-time member of our VAEP Steering Committee. She was passionate about AEDP, often recruiting other therapists to study the model with her special brand of enthusiasm. Michelle loved to organize social events for VAEP, gathering us together for fellowship and fun. Michelle was a gifted jewelry maker, and her weekends were often busy with craft shows. She also loved travel and restaurants, church and her church community, games of all kinds, laughter, and her beloved dog, Remy.
​
In honor of Michelle and her love for AEDP, we offer service scholarships to our trainings. We hope scholarship recipients will love AEDP as much as Michelle did.
Scholarship Details
VAEP offers service scholarships to our trainings for those in need of reduced tuition. Need is based on self-report. Recipients agree to a some training duties to support the event, as it takes many hands to run an event! Duties range from monitoring coffee and food stations, helping with set up and clean up, working at the registration table, and running microphones during the question and answer portions of the training.
​
Scholarship recipients also become part of the event team and enjoy the camaraderie and connection of our supportive and fun VAEP team.
