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.

How to Apply for 2025:

• Scholarship applications will open with camp registration on December 3, 2024 and will be due on January 31, 2025. The link to the application will be posted on the website on December 3, 2024!
• Applicants will need to register for camp and pay a $100 deposit to hold their spot in the program since many programs tend to fill up quickly.
• Applicants should not pay the entire tuition amount until they have received notice from Hog Island about their awarded amount.
• Scholarship decisions will be announced in by the end of February 2025 and applied to the CampDoc account of the recipient.
• Scholarship recipients will be expected to complete their registration forms and pay the balance no later than one month prior to their camp session.
