Founded in 2018, the Indiana Cave Rescue Scholarship fund provides financial assistance for individuals attending National Cave Rescue Commission trainings, held nationally and within Central Region. Though cave rescues occur infrequently, they can sometimes be extremely technical and necessitate a high level of competence to resolve. INCRS strongly supports cave rescue training and is committed to facilitating better cave rescue infrastructure in this region by reducing monetary obstacles for cavers seeking formalized training.

INCRS is a 501c3 non-profit organization managed by volunteer cavers. Scholarships are made possible through fundraising efforts and generous donations from local businesses, organizations, and individuals - many of which are cavers, as well! We appreciate all of our donors who have made this scholarship opportunity possible for the local caving community!
