The Aninger Fund is a trust fund created for the sole purpose of supporting leadership opportunities for the junior and senior youth of our congregation. Some excellent opportunities are available through UUA and CERG and include but are not limited to: River Rising, General Assembly, District Assembly, Summer Seminary for Youth, Multicultural Leadership School (youth), and youth conferences.

There has been a few changes to the Aninger Scholarship application process. The fall deadline for both the individual AND group applications has changed to November 1st for review at the November Religious Education Team meeting. Applications received after the November 1st deadline will not be considered until the spring (if they are still relevant). The spring deadline for both individual AND group applications has changed to May 1st for review at the May RET meeting. Applications received after the May1st deadline will not be considered until the fall (if they are still relevant).

Applications may be downloaded through the UUSS website. Applications and questions can be directed to Robin Ahearn, Director of Lifespan Religious Education at dlre@uuschenectady.org.
