Attend Fish for Change on Scholarship

50% of students come on a need-based scholarship.

Nobody gets priced out.

We never want these programs to be cost-prohibitive. Aid runs from $500 to a full ride and is decided on need and drive. The students who fundraise part of their own trip arrive with bigger eyes, and take more in.
