Thank you for your interest in Atlas Obscura Courses! A limited number of no-pay spots are available for many of our courses and are intended for those who would not otherwise be able to attend. Recipients of no-pay spots are randomly selected two weeks before each course. Please fill out the form below to apply. Please note that we’ll never ask our students to submit proof of their financial situation. To learn more about our pricing model and randomized selection process for no-pay spots, please visit our FAQ page at

***Please read all directions here carefully!***
1. If you do not see the course you’re interested in listed below, no-pay spots are not available at this time.
2. No-pay spots for each course are selected via a randomized selection process two weeks before the course begins. Applications submitted fewer than 14 days prior to the beginning of a course will not be considered.
3. Recipients of no-pay spots will be notified via email. If you do not receive a notification email by seven days prior to the start of this course, you have not been randomly selected to receive a spot. We invite you to apply again below for a no-pay spot on a future course!
No-pay spots are limited, so applying for a no-pay spot does not guarantee that you will receive one. Thank you for your participation, and feel free to reach out to us at
experiences@atlasobscura.com with any questions.
Please note: Recipients of no-pay spots are still responsible for course materials and any associated costs unless otherwise noted.
