Wilderness Inquiry Financial Aid Program

Wilderness Inquiry’s mission is to make the outdoors accessible to everyone regardless of age, background, ability, or socioeconomic status.

Thanks to generous donations from trip alumni, parents, foundations, corporations, and other sponsors, we are able to provide financial aid to thousands of individuals and families who need it to participate. All financial aid is need based.

We offer financial aid for many domestic events. Payment plans are also available. Financial aid is not available for international trips.

We make every effort to provide financial assistance to organizations when needed. Click here for more information.

Financial Aid for Individuals

Simply complete this on-line application. Once you submit the form we will review it and decide if we can honor your request and at what level.

Financial Aid Eligible Trips for Individuals

You can register for a trip now regardless of whether you are pre-approved for financial aid, but you will need to complete the financial aid application before we can confirm you for the trip. Select “I have already paid” as your payment option and your final payment due will be set according to the level of financial assistance you have been granted.

There are no events currently scheduled. Please check back soon.
