SCC is offering scholarships to encourage participation in our climbing competitions, The Sickness and Float the Boat. Scholarships are available for underrepresented populations or those who have specifically experienced barriers to participation in climbing. In particular, we hope to support members of the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, & People of Color), disabled, and LGBTQIA+ communities. Everyone is encouraged to apply regardless of their age or prior experience with rock climbing.

To apply: complete this application to the best of your ability so we can get to know you better! Scholarships will cover registration fees for either Float the Boat or The Sickness Competitions. We are also working with our partners to provide support for transportation, equipment, and mentorship. Please indicate if you have additional needs in the application below.

SCC preserves climbing areas for current and future generations in the Southeast. We do this through acquisition, stewardship, and community, so that all climbers can enjoy equitable access to the outdoors. We believe all people should have the opportunity to explore the vast natural landscapes in our region. We do not discriminate based on race, color, gender, ethnicity, ability, sexual orientation, or any other identity and we will not tolerate prejudice on our properties or within our organization. We believe the outdoors is for all people to enjoy without fear of discrimination and we will continue to work to ensure public protected climbing areas exist in perpetuity.
