YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS
BOLT is need-blind program meaning that anyone can participate in BOLT and that their ability to pay does not factor into their acceptance into the program. Our program and financial aid depends on the financial support provided by BOLT families, alumni, and friends. This funding goes towards program scholarships, equipment and gear, transportation, food, campsite fees, and other BOLT programming. Without your support, we would not be able to offer BOLT as an opportunity for students at Brown.
