Access Fund's Ghiselli Scholarship Fund

Part of Access Fund's mission is to convene climbing advocates from around the country to share best practices and develop the skills and knowledge they need to protect America’s climbing. These conferences are a valuable experience, but they can be a financial burden for some advocates. The Ghiselli Scholarship Fund exists to ensure that exceptional climbing advocates can attend our conferences and advance their skills, regardless of financial circumstances.
