Types of available funding

Youth Access FunD

Based on financial need and a ‘pay what you can’ approach, the Youth Access Fund (YAF) provides grants that subsidize the cost of the OBC course fee. The YAF is funded through the generous contributions of our OBC community. 

Applicants must be between 12–19 years of age; reside in Canada; fall within the income eligibility criteria; and demonstrate interest and motivation to participate. Many of our 2023 courses are eligible for a grant under the YAF,  however please confirm with us at admissions@outwardbound.ca before applying.

Applicants must be between the ages of 12-19 years of age; reside in Canada; demonstrate their desire to build leadership capacity; and have a parent/guardian who can show their membership with the Canadian Forces.

FUNDRAISE FOR YOUR COURSE

Because we get many applications and only have so many funds to distribute, we strongly recommend and encourage applicants to consider raising funds for their course on their own! Click here for a copy of our Fundraising Kit to help you get started.
