What Are We Looking For?
Thank you for your interest in cave rescue training in Indiana!
**THE APPLICATION PROCESS IS CURRENTLY CLOSED**
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Deadline to submit application materials for review: TBD
The number of awards provided will depend on the overall cost of the training, as well as the number applying for the scholarship. It is our mission to fund as many applicants as possible for these trainings.
If you receive a scholarship, you will be responsible for paying the remainder of your registration fees. In the event the scholarship winner does not attend the training, funding will not be awarded. In the event the course is cancelled, no funding will be dispersed and the application process will start anew with a new course.
Must be 18 or older to apply. Priority for selecting scholarship recipients will be based on several criteria, including:
- Proximity to Indiana’s highest density cave regions (i.e South-Central)
- Involvement in local cave-related organizations and initiatives (grotto membership, conservation efforts, other related activities)
- Likelihood of long-term commitment to the Indiana cave community
- Financial need
- Level 1 training applicants if applying for NCRC Weeklong
