An infographic describing the ALDHA-West Diversity Hiker Scholarship. For our 2nd year, we'll award $2500 scholarships plus incredible gear packages to four BIPOC hikers. Applications are open through February 15th, 2025.

We are excited to announce our 2025 Diversity Hiker Scholarship Program!

Our goal is simple but important. BIPOC hikers are under-represented on-trail, so we created a scholarship program to help them hike the trail of their dreams!
