2024 needs-based scholarship: now accepting applications

In 2022 we launched a needs-based scholarship program to create more opportunities for individuals whose outdoor access has been hindered by limited financial resources, lack of generational or communal outdoor knowledge, or discrimination. Beginning today, January 16, we’re accepting applications to award scholarships for our 2024 guided trips and in our Plan Like a Pro online course.

The exact spots available to 2024 applicants has not yet been determined. In past years, we have made spots available on:

Fundamentals 3-day courses, andAdventure 5- and 7-day trips.

Spots on these trips are likely again in 2024. We don’t expect to have spots available on Expedition-level trips (canyoneering, 11-day, Alaska), and we expect to have fewer spots available on longer trips (5- and 7-day trips) than the shorter 3-day trips.

The scholarship award is equal to 80 percent of the trip fee and scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Guided trip recipients will receive access to a pre-trip planning curriculum as well as our gear library.
