The FoST Explorers Club welcomes new members to our multidisciplinary community of creators, leaders, and innovators who are exploring the frontiers of human communication. You can find out more about the program here.

The FoST Explorers Club is excited to grant a very limited number of partial scholarships each season, in addition to a few full scholarships. We reserve our scholarships for need-based applicants who demonstrate exceptional interest and ambition in the storytelling space and would benefit from our in-person tours and community relationships. Scholarships are offered on a rolling basis as funds are available, so please submit your information below and if there's a fit someone from our team will be in touch.
