The Scholars Program is a online coaching program that gives you the clarity and confidence to rebalance your horse with Straightness Training. The course is taught by Marijke de Jong who, since 2006, has been working with thousands of horses and riders from all over the world. This knowledge has been distilled down into the key modules inside of Mastery Program that will make all the difference for you and your horse. You'll get access to the Mastery Program for free when you join the Scholars Program, as well as to the Evaluation Program and Self-Mastery Program.

ST Academy Scholars is a monthly membership program. 

Your subscription begins on the date you sign up and lasts 30 days.

You will have access to the Scholars Library immediately upon signing up and will get access to a brand new Live Class Module and new Mastery lessons when the new month begins.

The cost per month is automatically charged to your card.

See also our Terms & Conditions:

http://straightnesstraining.com/terms-conditions/ 

Your Scholars membership will continue month-to-month unless and until you cancel your membership.

After you cancel your subscription, you will loose access to all your content at the end of your billing cycle (not the end of the month). 

If you continue with the Scholarship you will keep access to the Scholars Library, plus the new Live Class Modules for the subsequent months.

This is the case for as long as you are a member, but when you leave the membership your access to all of the materials on the website is revoked.

The Scholars Program is an online coaching program that starts with the 8-weeks Success Pathway to ready for certification in Groundwork Grade 1. Then it continues with monthly mastery cycles to get certified in the training pillars longeing, work in hand, riding and ST at liberty. 

The 8-weeks Success Pathway:

The basic Straightness Training content is released on the predetermined schedule that lasts about 8 weeks. The reason for this is very similar to a college class. We have literally dozens and dozens of people coming into this course. If we gave people the ability to jump around, can you imagine the challenge it would be to support people? There is no way we would be able to efficiently support everyone who would be asking different questions on different modules. It would create more confusion and chaos. So we're intentional in how the content is released and it's to create a world-class experience.

The materials of the Success Pathway become available as the relevant Stage is released.

The Scholars Program is an immersive online course experience.

We officially kickoff with the grand opening and onboarding course on Friday, July 1st.

Then the first Stage will be released on Sunday, July 3rd.

We are all in with you every week day until our Groundwork Grade 1 graduation ceremony on September 4th.

The Scholars Program is an online coaching program. When you enroll, you get three training programs as a bonus, FREE.

Bonus #1: The ST Evaluation Program (value €1497)

The Evaluation Program becomes available the moment you sign up.

As of the second month in your membership (the second 4 weeks of the Success Pathway), you will be able to submit Hot Seat, Breakthrough, Mastermind and Touchstone requests.

Eventhough you have access to all the resources in the ST Evaluation Program, it is not possible to submit Hot Seat, Breakthrough, Mastermind or Touchstone requests in the very first month of the Scholars Program, as it's not part of the Success Pathway, and not included in the monthly membership entry fee of €67. (for example, a Touchstone alone already has the value of €127).

Bonus #2: The ST Mastery Program (value €2597)

After the initial 8-week Success Pathway, all the lessons in the Mastery Modules will be served in bite-sized chunks in the form of monthly Mastery lessons, so you know exactly what to do next in groundwork, longeing, work in hand, riding and Straightness Training at liberty.

Many people become overwhelmed upon receiving access to all Modules of the ST Encyclopedia at once.

Therefore, we made the decision to stagger the release of the Module materials, so that people keep up, and don't get lost along the way.

Marijke has selected the order in which to release the lessons in the Mastery Modules, so as to provide the most logical and structured way to work through the materials.

This is how it works:

1. The STclopedia is broken down into 10 Mastery Modules with Lessons with supporting video content and complementary manuals on how to do groundwork, longeing, work in hand, riding, and Straightness Training at liberty.
2. You get all Mastery Modules unlocked on the first day of the month.
3. Then, at the beginning of every month in Scholars a new set of Mastery lessons are unlocked in particular Mastery Modules and added to your ST Library.
4. This means, every month you get access to another set of Mastery lessons that will help you fast-track your growth, achieve extraordinary results, and ultimately, save you years of time-consuming trial and error.
5. After two years in the Scholars program, you will have access to the entire library of the STclopedia with all its Modules and Lessons.

This way, you don't get overwhelmed by all the modules, sections, lessons, videos, and manuals in the STclopedia and you never get the feeling of getting behind".

Bonus 3: The Self-Mastery Program (value €2997)

The Self-Mastery Program becomes partly available in the first 8 weeks, and fully available in the third month of your membership. The program is jam-packed with self-paced courses.  

We specifically designed the Scholars Program this way so you have all the supporting information you need to get the most out of these bonuses.

You can change your credit card in the 'Settings' menu in your library. 

Here's what to do:

1. Log in to your Scholars Library as normal.

2. Click on the Avatar in the top right-hand corner of the screen and select 'Settings' from the dropdown menu that appears.

3. On the page that opens click on 'Billing info' in the top right-hand corner of the screen.

4. When the page opens click 'Replace' next to your current card details. 

We don’t offer scholarships or discounts on the Scholars Program and the Basic ST Instructor Certification Program.

The ST Academy programs offer you an immense amount of value for what you pay each month, and it’s unlike any programs you’ve ever tried before.

So all of our students invest the same amount for our programs.

We only open one time per year. That way, we are better able to serve our scholars. We only spend a small amount of time marketing the Scholars program so we can focus all our energy and attention serving our scholars. It also enables all of our scholars to be on the same page when going through the material.

The next class starts in about a year, so that's mid 2023.

This is the only membership site course that is based on the knowledge, wisdom and best practises of the old grandmasters. And the course isn't based on a one-time success. It's the accumulation of strategies all distilled down into a logical system of gymnastic exercises for recurring success. You don't have to experiment to hopefully find something that works for you and your horse. Just follow the success pathway in the Scholars Program. It's been proven to work over and over again. And we obsess over your results. It's an implementation course experience designed to help you make progress and get the results you're looking for with your horse.

You can cancel at any time but keep an eye on your billing cycle if you don't want to continue next month.

To cancel your membership, simply contact [email protected] at least fourteen (14) days before your next scheduled payment is due.

The ST Academy Scholar Program has been created for students that really want to achieve life-changing results for themselves and their horses.

It requires a dedicated involvement in the ST Academy, and a buildup of a relationship between student and teachers.

Therefore we are not facilitating a 'hop-on hop-off' service, because this would jeopardize the goals and vision of the ST Academy.

Also, it would very much complicate our administration.

Therefore, we have a policy that a waiting period of one year comes into effect the moment you cancel.

This means, you can sign up again in the future, however, you will not be able to sign up again for one full year after cancelling.

When you rejoin after one year your specific content rights will be reset to starter level. This means, we will not have saved your individual progress over the previous period. After you cancel we will clear your account and your membership information for technical reasons.

So when you cancel, you will lose all rights you have build up, even when you were close to becoming a VIP or VINCI Scholar.

Pausing your ST Academy Scholar membership in the ST Academy is not possible.

Putting your membership on hold and reactivating is not possible, as it would enable a "hop-on hop-off" service, that's not how it works in Academies.

We don't make exceptions, as we get these requests a lot as many Scholars are dealing with difficulties of any kind, and it would not be do-able for us to give all these Scholars tailor-made pauses, and extensions, and so on.

Therefore, it's not possible to pause or to rejoin before a year is up, no matter what the circumstances.

If you decide to leave Scholars for a year, here's what you can do in the meantime:

• Get the latest news and tips about Straighthness Training through 'Weekly ST', Marijke's weekly, free and liive broadcast on her Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/marijke.de.jong.straightness.training

• Listen to 'The Marijke de Jong' podcast, the next episode is just around the corner: https://www.straightnesstrainingacademy.com/podcast  

ST Academy Scholars is a membership (like a gym membership), which means you have unlimited access as long as you are a member.

If you cancel, your membership is disabled at the end of your billing cycle, and you will no longer be able to login to the Scholars membership site.

When you cancel you are immediately removed from the Private Facebook Group.

On your normal billing date, you lose access to the Scholars Member Website and its online modules, content.

If you decide to come back in the future (which you are always welcome), you will rejoin at the monthly rate of €297 per month (or current membership rate).

Your initial membership payment (1 euro or 267 euro) for the first month is non-refundable once you access the membership site.

Once this payment is processed, your subscription membership begins.

The membership payment is automatically processed each month thereafter until the membership is canceled.

To cancel your membership at any time, see FAQ 2.1. and 2.2.

General things to try:

1. All videos and downloads have been tested by us using a variety of browsers, over PC and Mac and they work across those browsers and platforms.

2. The video and audio information can be quite large. You need to have a broadband connection (anything other than a modem) and a computer that is less than 3 years old.

3. These files will probably not work if you are on a 56k modem connection, and even when using DSL many files can take a significant amount of time to load/play.

4. Be patient. Some files can take up to 45 minutes to stream.

5. If you're still having audio/video problems and you're using a PC, do a hard boot by completely powering off your computer for a full 30 seconds and then turning it back on.

6. For any problems, the variables can be large so before contacting us, be sure to try it using a different browser, a different computer, or over a different network. Some browser or network security settings may prevent files from streaming.

7. If you are using Windows and you are getting a message that Quicktime could not initialize, Quicktime suggests that you go into the properties of Quicktime and either click or unclick the ‘compatibility’ icon.

1. Be patient. Some videos can take up to 45 minutes to process.

2. Try letting the recordings load (hit mute) and walk away and do something else for a while. You can then go back later and watch it after the recording has loaded into the buffer cache.

3. Make sure you have the latest non-beta version of whatever audio and visual software is recommended you’re using.
