NOTICE: Our Strategic Plan includes a goal to ensure that our scholarships are sustainable. Scholarship funds are more robust when they’re endowed. In an effort to work toward sustainability, we are reviewing our scholarship process in order to provide consistent support for emerging outdoor leaders and educators. We will keep you updated as we make decisions about how to move forward. A hold on the giving of scholarships has been issued until an endowment plan is in place. Consider contributing toward the endowment of these funds by giving today.*
