TRANSCRIPT
Founded in 1975, Road Scholar is a not-for-profit organization with a mission to inspire adults to learn, discover and travel.
Our learning adventures engage expert instructors, provide extraordinary access, and stimulate discourse and friendship
among people for whom learning is the journey of a lifetime.
About Road Scholar Programs
A Road Scholar program is a true learning adventure. Each year, we offer 5,500 iconic
educational adventures in 50 states and 150 countries around the world.
Road Scholar Caregiver Grants and Scholarships: Financial Assistance for Road Scholar Learning Adventures
At Road Scholar, we believe educational travel should be accessible to all older adults —
no matter one’s economic status. Since our earliest days, we have offered financial
assistance to those participants who have the desire to learn, but not the means to take
part in our enriching educational programs. Road Scholar awards hundreds of scholarships
to enthusiastic lifelong learners every year.
Road Scholar offers two types of financial assistance: Scholarships and Caregiver Grants.
Scholarships
Scholarships are awarded to lifelong
learners without the financial means to
participate in our learning adventures.
Scholarships help make the dream of an
educational travel adventure a reality. They
also enhance the program experience for
all participants by welcoming individuals
with diverse life perspectives to fully
participate in our learning communities.
Caregiver Grants
We at Road Scholar acknowledge the
weighty responsibility adults who serve as
family caregivers for ill or disabled relatives
carry. The warm, welcoming and friendly
nature of our learning adventures can
provide a much-needed respite from the
emotional and physical demands inherent
in caregiver service. We’re committed
to helping offset the costs of arranging
substitute care for caregivers to attend a
Road Scholar learning adventure. Thanks
to the generous support of our donors,
we are able to do just that by awarding
Caregiver Grants.
What You Need to Know About Our Financial Assistance Program
