Wilderness Therapy

Scholarship Application

We're eager to assist those in need. If you are working with one of the partners listed on our partners page and live in Oregon or Washington, we may be able to help.

Complete and submit the form below to apply for a financial grant. If you live in a state other than Oregon or Washington, and are considering a placement in wilderness therapy, we still encourage you to visit one of our premier accredited program partners for help and guidance in the admission process.

While completing an application does not guarantee a grant, it does create an opportunity for consideration.

Qualification can be further discussed during the interview portion of the application process.

This online form is available for your convenience. Please be aware that providing information to us, electronically, verbally, or by mail can involve some risk. While we do our best to maintain the confidentiality of information you provide, some things are beyond our control.

GUIDELINES

Oregon and Washington residents only. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Applicants will be notified as soon as a decision is reached. We provide partial grants only. Grant offer is good for 30 days following award notice. After 30 days, the grant offer will expire and applicant will need to re-apply. Grant recipients must notify us if they experience a change in financial status and no longer are in need of the grant. Grants are non-transferable. Grant recipients must notify us if they decide to not accept the scholarship. If further information is needed, a phone interview may be requested. Grant requests are open to anyone for whom attending a partner wilderness program would pose a financial hardship. Grant recipients are responsible for securing their own travel to and from the selected wilderness program. Approved Grant Recipients: With the intention to provide helpful information and feedback to other families and their children in-crisis, it is very important to share our experiences with each other. Upon completion of a partnering wilderness therapy program, participants and their parents or guardians agree to be interviewed, and to provide written or video testimonial of their wilderness experience. Anonymity is respected if requested. *While net income limit is $100,000, indebtedness and other factors are also considered— including outstanding loans and their values. Grants are provided based on the availability of funds and additional criteria as defined by our foundation board. The Parker Bounds Johnson Foundation does not and shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status, in any of its activities or operations.
