FINANCIAL AID

Financial aid is core to our mission to make the wilderness accessible to all people.

We have given hundreds of thousands of dollars of financial aid since 1998 and never turned away someone because they could not pay for a course. Partial or full aid is available of ALL youth and adult. We also offer payment plans.

ELIGIBILITY: We use the federal poverty guidelines to determine eligibility and award amount. Below you can see the breakdown.

Under 150% Full Scholarship (minus deposit).
150%-250% They pay between $100 and half of full fee.
250%-350% Half Scholarship.
350% We might follow up to get more information to determine eligibility.

You can use this calculator to see what percentile your household falls under.

Enrollment Process for Financial Aid Applicants

Apply for financial aid BEFORE you submit your registration.
Once you apply for financial aid we will send an offer if you are eligible. You will receive a coupon to apply to your order to receive your award.
You can fill out your registration for the course of your choice and use the “save for later” feature to get a head start on your registration.
