As such, this scholarship will prioritize supporting these applicants, and we will continue to support throughout the course and beyond.

One full scholarship is available this year and will be provided to one applicant who completes this form. The scholarship covers the cost of the Basic Mountaineering Course Registration ($575). Participants will be responsible for acquiring all gear on the gear list, but can check in with the [email protected] if there are options for any supplies to be loaned or borrowed from other club members.
