Ascent Scholarships
Thank you for your interest in adventuring with Ascent . It is not Ascent’s desire to know the financial differences of families when considering scholarships. Rather, Ascent trusts parents. Ascent puts the high desire to participate 1st. Money should not be a priority to adventuring together. As a team, caregivers and Ascent, will find the balance and support to provide these opportunities. Along with trust, Ascent would like to ask a couple of participant requests to help build gratefulness and help create the learned character trait of generosity. Ascent’s asks scholarship recipients to this by giving back to their community. Examples include service projects, participate in trail building, river clean up or volunteer for a day with the James River Park System.
Scholarships are available in connection with 2 requests for the participant to fulfill.
A letter/email from participant describing why they want to participate in the adventure program(s) of interest.
Ascent participant volunteer service hours. All students seeking scholarships will be asked to complete 6 volunteer hours through Ascent within the following year. Again, this can be done at community parks, schools and non-profits. Ascent may have planned events to help start the process.
