Out In Schools has 5 full or partial scholarship spots available for folks with financial need that would otherwise prevent them from being able to register.

If you are experiencing financial barriers that would otherwise prevent you from being able to register for our Queer Youth Filmmaking Camp, please complete the following questions.

In order to best direct our resources to those with the the greatest need, we ask that you reflect on your access to financial resources. This might include your status of current employment, debt, property or business ownership, anticipated or actual inheritance, and whether or not you struggle to make ends meet on basic needs e.g. rent, food, clothing, healthcare, transport.

Out In Schools is holding 5 full or partial scholarship spots open for this camp, with the priority of providing access for equity-deserving individuals whose identities hold multiple intersections of marginalization (e.g. 2SLGBTQIA+ people who are also BIPOC, disabled, or otherwise disadvantaged by systems of oppression).

In order to evaluate whether we are effectively reaching the communities we aim to serve, this form collects demographic information. Self-identification is optional.
