Elderhostel Scholarships
By increasing the social, educational and economic diversity of Elderhostel's
participant group, Elderhostel Scholarships help to enrich the program
experience for all participants, not just those who receive scholarship
support. On a yearly basis, Elderhostel awards over 600 scholarships.
We are grateful to the generous donors who have helped us make tuition
support available.
The Elderhostel Scholarship award is up to an $800 credit, which
may be applied to any program featured in our United States &
Canada catalog. Most scholarships are partial, with the participant
paying a $100 deposit regardless of the program cost.
Elderhostel Scholarship recipients are expected to pay the difference
in the cost of the program, less their scholarship amount. Scholarships
do not cover the cost of transportation to and from the Elderhostel
program, or any additional or optional program activities. The entire
cost of the program, including scholarship, should not exceed $1,000.
Scholarship funds are limited to make funds available to as many
applicants as possible; recipients may receive only one award per
year. In order for your scholarship application to be reviewed, we
request that you fill out the application
form completely and mail it to the address on the form.
Please allow four to six weeks for the Scholarship Committee to review
your application and send a response. If you have any questions regarding
Elderhostel Scholarships, you may contact Participant Services by
emailing scholarship@elderhostel.org
by calling, toll-free, (877) 426-8056, Monday through Friday, 9:00
a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Eastern Time.
