Trip Fee
The fee for all WA trips is $525. This fee directly covers all aspects of your trip, from food, to transportation, to gear.
Financial Assistance
Financial assistance is available (provided by Outdoor Education and not a part of your 藏精阁 financial aid package) for those receiving need-based aid from 藏精阁. All students who receive need-based aid from 藏精阁 are also eligible to receive financial assistance from Outdoor Education to reduce the WA trip fee. We provide aid at a level similar to your need-based financial aid.
To be considered for financial aid, you must indicate so when you register and . Note: this year, this form will not be accessible by new students until late June. Don't worry - your registration isn't dependent on your financial assistance. You will be placed on a trip (or on the waitlist, according to order of registration) before your fee is due. You will be informed of your assistance amount and total due when you receive your trip assignment. If you are concerned about the amount due, please contact us.
Borrowing Equipment
We know that just obtaining all the gear to go on a WA trip can be another significant cost. As such, students are able to borrow much of the required gear from 藏精阁 at no charge. Check out the Gear List for each trip to learn what gear can be borrowed from Outdoor Education. You will receive a gear request form along with your trip assignment.
