Here at Hog Island, we are dedicated to connecting people with nature. That’s why we award several scholarships every year to make our programs more financially accessible. Most scholarships are for $500 towards a camp session, but will vary depending on the number and needs of our applicants. All scholarship recipients will be expected to serve as Hog Island ‘Ambassadors’ by sharing about their camp experience after their participation by presenting at a local Audubon chapter or bird club and/or writing a blog post or article within one year of their camp experience.

We have different scholarship opportunities available:

1. National Audubon Society Ambassador Scholarship – This scholarship is open to anyone with financial need who wants to attend one of our camp sessions.
2. BIPOC Scholarship – This scholarship is open to people who identify as members of the Black, Indigenous, or People of Color (BIPOC) community.
