ScholarshipsWRFI offers a few small, need-based scholarships to students who might be unable to attend a course without assistance. These scholarships are usually five to ten percent of tuition. To apply for a General WRFI Scholarship, please fill out a WRFI scholarship application form and submit it with your course application. Students will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis, so we recommend that you apply as early as possible. For students applying to Montana Afoot & Afloat: Human/Land Relations, WRFI offers the $1000 Matt Thomas Scholarship. Students applying to Cycle the Rockies are elgible for the $500-$1000 Cycle the Rockies Scholarship. Other options include the WRFI Buddy Bonus. If you recruit a friend or fellow student to participate in a WRFI course, we will give $100 off your tuition. We also encourage you to look into scholarships, grants and low-interest education loans from outside sources, and to consider saving money from your job to help pay for the course. Past students have made appeals to friends, family, and colleagues to sponsor them for every mile they hiked, paddled, or pedaled. If you are already receiving financial aid, you may be able to use it to cover the cost of WRFI tuition and other course expenses. A popular option for students who receive Pell grants, Stafford loans or guaranteed student loans at their school is to obtain a "Consortium Agreement." A Consortium Agreement will transfer financial aid from your home institution to cover tuition for WRFI courses. Contact your financial aid office or the WRFI office for details. |
