This program is designed to provide additional financial support to make working with Apogee a viable summer employment option. While we encourage applicants from historically marginalized backgrounds to apply, this need-based scholarship is open to all staff members. Your application will be reviewed when we are actively offering positions - you will not hear from us about your Additional Financial Support application until that point. 

Depending on each applicant’s needs, Apogee may award Additional Financial Support packages as supplementary salary in their summer paycheck or through other means (e.g., purchasing a flight to Maine at the beginning of the summer or supporting your Wilderness First Responder certification if our base travel and certification reimbursements* don’t cover the entire costs). In most cases, we will inform applicants about any awarded additional financial support in conjunction with their job offer.

* Please note that Apogee offers a travel reimbursement to every staff member and also a partial or full reimbursement for required Wilderness First Aid/Responder Certifications.
