Scholarship
Disorient offers scholarships to help ease the cost of dues for those who need it. While we rely on most campers to pay full dues, we know that cost can be a real barrier. If that’s the case for you, we invite you to apply. The application is simple, and we trust you to ask for what you need. If you're in a position to contribute more, please submit full dues and consider making a donation. Your generosity helps keep Disorient accessible for all.
