Scholarship Information

"My son attended one of your teen expeditions, and I wanted to again thank everyone for the generous scholarship that made it possible. He clearly had an amazing time - loved everyone, opened new parts of himself, and had the importance of nature in his life re-affirmed. His dad and I are grateful for the new spark we see in his eyes. "
-Carol T.

Supporting Scholarships:

In order to provide scholarships to our students, we rely on the generous support of our donors through the Ingwe Memorial Scholarship Fund. We were pleased to be able to offer $25,000 in scholarships last year! But even with that level of funding, not everyone who applied for a scholarship was able to receive one. Our goal is to increase the amount we can give this coming year and in the years to come. Please consider a tax-deductible contribution to support future scholarships.
