A Summit Scholarship is a fully funded place on an all-women expedition: the guiding, the travel, and the gear. It exists because cost — not ability, not desire — is the barrier that keeps most women and girls off the big mountains.
Tell us where you want to go and what is standing in the way. The application opens December 15 and closes January 31 — six weeks, short on purpose.
Recipients are announced in mid-March. A scholarship covers the guiding, the travel, and the gear a big-mountain expedition demands.

The window to apply is short on purpose — six weeks from open to close.
Our Adventure Lens Grant sends emerging women filmmakers onto the rope team to tell the story from the inside.
