Adventures Online Scholarships

Eligibility Requirements
Since our earliest days, we have set aside resources to ensure that older adults with limited financial means would be able to experience a Road Scholar learning adventure. Thanks to the generous support of our donors, every year we award financial assistance to lifelong learners ages 50+ in need.

- If you cancel your enrollment in the program, the Scholarship becomes void.
- If Road Scholar cancels your program, the Scholarship can be transferred to another program without fees.
- If, after enrollment, you decide to transfer to another eligible program, the Scholarship may be transferred along with the enrollment.
- Your Scholarship can’t be transferred to another person.
When your Adventures Online program ends, we’ll ask you to do a few things: complete a program evaluation, write a thank-you letter to the donor(s) who funded your scholarship, post an online review (we’re happy to help with that) and allow us to share your thank-you letter and personal statement in reports to donors and others.
