SCHOLARSHIPS & FINANCIAL AID

Outward Bound courses create young leaders through educational programs in the wilderness. Our Financial Aid and Scholarship program is guided by a single principle: Every person should be given the opportunity to experience adventure and challenge, develop character and compassion, and learn leadership skills and service ethics, regardless of financial ability.  

Thanks to generous donations from alumni, parents, corporations, foundations and others, Outward Bound’s network of regional schools provides financial aid and scholarships to more than 6,000 students each year. 

Financial aid and scholarships are based on need, motivation, and awarded on a first-come, first-served basis by the Outward Bound School where your course is offered. 

Outward Bound Regional Schools offer financial aid on a rolling basis. Regional Schools have limited financial aid funds, so please contact the National Admissions Office to inquire if funds are currently available. Scholarships are awarded by individual schools. To find out more, contact them directly. 

Financial aid and scholarship awards do not cover transportation to and from the course start location, or personal expenses such as clothing, insurance, airfare and baggage fees.  

To request an application for financial aid and scholarships, please proceed with the following steps: 

  1. You can complete the Enrollment Form online by clicking the green “Enroll” button next to the course number or by phone (toll-free) 866-467-7651. 
  2. On the Enrollment Form, be sure to answer “Yes” to the question asking if you are interested in applying for financial aid.
  3. Within two business days of submitting your enrollment form you should expect to receive an email for additional enrollment materials, including a financial aid application from the Outward Bound School where your course if offered.
  4. Complete your financial aid application and return by the stated deadline.  Timely completion of paperwork will assist the Outward Bound School with determining the award they are able to offer you. 

Please Note: Outward Bound requires a $500 deposit be submitted with the Enrollment Form.  This deposit is applied toward the total cost of tuition and fees for the course. This deposit is fully refundable in the event you do not qualify for financial aid and need to withdraw your enrollment.
