While you do not need prior mountaineering experience to qualify for this expedition, you need to be in excellent cardio shape and have experience backpacking.

The Nuts and Bolts
If needed, I am willing and able to increase my level of weekly cardio activity to meet the requirements for my expedition/adventure.
If selected as a Summit Scholarship recipient, I am willing to write about my experience and share writing & photos with the AWE Summit Scholarship Foundation and the program's sponsors.
I understand that each Summit Scholarship covers the full expedition fee plus LOWA mountaineering footwear and other select gear, and that I will be responsible for making my own travel arrangements to and from the climb's departure city. While a travel stipend is part of most Summit Scholarships, total travel expenses that exceed the amount of the travel stipend must be borne by the scholarship recipient.
I understand that I will be responsible for my own personal mountaineering gear (rentals are available through AWE's partners) and for purchasing my own travel & rescue insurance
Mountaineering is an inherently risky activity. I understand that I will have to sign an Acknowledgement of Risk and Waiver of Liability for the AWE Summit Scholarship Foundation and its partner organizations.
I do not have any known medical conditions that prevent me from participating in sustained strenuous physical activities.
I grant the AWE Summit Scholarship Foundation permission to reproduce excerpts from my application as part of the Summit Scholarship program.
