DiRtBaG scholarships

Discount Rates that Benefit all Genders

“Dirtbag” is a climbing term attributed to someone so dedicated to the sport of rock climbing that they will literally sleep in the dirt at the base of a wall just so they can get an alpine start on an epic climb in the morning. They wake up in their sleeping bags, dirty and ready to rock.

donate to the dirtbag fund

Thanks to 100 Women Who care for their generous donation to Howl's 2022 dirtbag program!

At HoWL, we always sleep in the dirt (well okay, usually in tents and sometimes on ice). But we recognize and celebrate young folks committed to pursuing their passion, regardless of the cost.
We offer DiRtBaG Scholarships based on leadership, teamwork and financial need so that every student who has the desire, also has the opportunity to participate in HoWL trips. Our annual DiRtBaG Clean-Up Week and DiRtBaG Service Days help support our scholarship fund, as do the generous donations of local businesses and individuals.

Apply for a HoWL dirtbag scholarship

We value HoWLers' enthusiasm for outdoor adventure and think it is important for participants to be involved in the scholarship application process. The end of this application includes questions for participants to answer themselves.

Nice work DiRtBaGgers!

HoWL's 2022 clean-up was a remarkable success! More than 80 kids and a dozen volunteers participated in collecting 110 bags of trash and recycling from 20 miles of roadways and beaches! In just one week!

Many thanks to our 2022 community sponsors !
