What is the Moving Hands Scholarship?
Through a generous grant from the Figure Foundation, individuals fluent in American Sign Language or Signed Exact English may be eligible to receive a full scholarship to a Wilderness First Aid (WFA) or Wilderness First Responder (WFR) course taught by the Wilderness Medicine Institute of NOLS (WMI). This Scholarship is not intended to be used for recertification. Scholarships cover tuition expense only. Please submit your application 12 weeks prior to the start date of your desired course and allow two weeks for your application to be evaluated. If your application is approved, you will be directed to enroll in a course and pay the appropriate deposit or tuition which will be refunded upon course completion. For more information and an application please contact the WMI Admissions Supervisor (866-831-9001 x 1).
