Scholarships 2025
Our scholarship application for Camp 2025 is NOW CLOSED. We hope to announce scholarship decisions in early June.
This year, we were able to raise $4,000 for our 2025 camp scholarship fund, thanks to the generosity of our camp community during our End of Year Fundraising campaign. Our scholarships are 100% funded by donations, and this money can go toward both full and partial scholarships, depending on need.
Every year, it is our goal to fill our scholarship fund enough to help every camper family who requests financial assistance, but in the event that our scholarship fund cannot cover every dollar requested from our community, our Scholarship Committee will make full and partial scholarship decisions based on demonstrated need and camper essays. For camp 2025, we have also decided to prioritize families that have been economically impacted by Hurricane Helene, knowing that many in our community were affected by devastating floods. Scholarship decisions typically happen in May or June to accommodate the highest number of requests possible.
Thank you, and please contact us with any questions at: OperationsManager@appalachianinstitute.org or 1-828-782-3299.
NOTE: If you are interested in contributing to our scholarship fund to help us reach even more campers in need, you are welcome to donate at any time!
