Scholarship Application 2025

Welcome to Arkansas' only summer camp where LGTBQIA+ youth and allies can feel safe, celebrated, loved, and valued by each other and their community. Queer Camp is a weeklong day camp for middle school, junior high, and high school students (ages 12–18) running from Monday July 7th through Friday July 11th, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

We operate on a limited budget and we do our best to keep camp fees affordable. We also understand that not everyone can pay the registration fee, so we provide partial or full scholarships based on financial need. To request a scholarship, complete both the Camper Registration Form and the application below fully and honestly. We cannot process your camper's registration or scholarship if you do not complete both forms.

Optional Personal Information

We understand that information about gender, sexual orientation, racial/ethnic background, and citizenship status are deeply personal, and that is why these are optional questions. Answering these questions will in no way affect your camper's eligibility or selection for scholarship awards.

So why do we ask for personal information? We anonymize this information, use it to generate camp reports, and use those reports in applications for grant funding for Queer Camp. The more information we have, the more grants we can apply to, and the more grant funding we can receive. Grant funds allow us to keep camp costs low and provide more scholarships. So, providing this information increases all camper's opportunities for scholarships!

Financial Information

We know that you understand your financial needs better than we do, and we believe you if you say that you need a scholarship. Typically, we don't turn down scholarship requests based on your family's income.

So why do we ask for financial information? We anonymize this information, use it to generate camp reports, and use those reports in applications for grant funding for Queer Camp. The more information we have, the more grants we can apply to, and the more grant funding we can receive. Grant funds allow us to keep camp costs low and provide more scholarships. So, providing this information increases all camper's opportunities for scholarships!

To complete your scholarship request, make sure you have filled out both the Camper Registration Form and this Scholarship Application. The information you provide on this form will be matched to your camper's Registration Form in order to assign and track scholarship status. We cannot process your camper's registration or scholarship if you do not complete both forms. After processing your information, we will contact you to confirm your camper's scholarship status.

Once again, we want to assure you that the information you provide will not be used to discriminate against you or your camper. Only the necessary Queer Camp staff will see and review your answers. Your information will only be used or shared elsewhere after we make it anonymous by removing all personal identifiers so that your privacy is protected. Our primary goal in collecting this information is to enable us to seek outside funding so that we can keep camp affordable while allowing it to grow and thrive.
