THIS SCHOLARSHIP WINDOW IS NOW OPEN

The Freeflow Grand Canyon experience is open to everyone. We encourage educators, leaders, artists, students, communicators, writers, scientists, and curious people of all backgrounds to apply – though preference for scholarships will be given to individuals from BIPOC communities, especially those from Indigenous communities in the Colorado River Basin.

In collaboration with our partner organizations and individual supporters, Freeflow is offering limited full and partial scholarships for our 2026 Grand Canyon field course.

We are committed to building a cohort of humans who will bring depth and curiosity to the evolving narrative around the Colorado River and the Colorado Plateau – people who find joy in learning, observation, humor, science, and, importantly, the creative act.

We understand that there may be myriad barriers to participation in this adventure, and that our scholarships may not cover all expenses associated with the river trip (i.e. travel to Flagstaff, gear, childcare, time off of work, etc.). While we cannot offset all of them financially, we will work with you as best we can to chip away at these barriers.

To our scholarship recipients we offer our support with mental and physical preparation on the front end, creative mentorship, in-field support, and guidance with reintegration once the experience comes to a close.

If you have any questions at all, you can contact us at [email protected].

Let’s have an adventure.

PLEASE APPLY EARLY, as applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. The final deadline for all applications is midnight on September 15, 2025.
