Annually, North Carolina Outward Bound School alumni, parents, staff and friends provide tax-deductible donations that allow our school to offer scholarship assistance to those who otherwise would not be able to attend our courses. Nearly 30 percent of all students who participate in one of our wilderness courses receive financial assistance through our scholarship program. Your support allows us to provide the Outward Bound experience to more deserving students have the opportunity to learn the value of self reliance, physical fitness, craftsmanship and above all, compassion.
